Consurgo

In this steampunk styled short film, created in our second year of school, a girl loses the ball she's playing with and it ends up on the street. Her father tries to get it back for her, but then something brutal happens. The girl, full of tears, doesn't know what to think when a monstrous creature appears and seems to be after her and her father.
Consurgo is latin for 'to arise' and blends perfectly with the story. This sad story picks up halfway to something incredibly fantastic

Age 13: The Inner Life of an 'At-Risk' Teenager (1955)

Age 13 is a melodramatic 1955 educational “social warning” film from director Sid Davis that depicts a grieving teenager named Andrew as he struggles to cope following his mother’s death. As the story goes begins, Andrew’s radio coincidentally stops working the same time his mother dies which sets him in the wrong direction. Later, Andrew is sent to the school psychologist’s office for a Rorschach test after shooting off a gun in the schoolyard (!). In the end, he runs away from his bitter stepfather but eventually is taken in by family members and shows the ‘first signs of winning his inner struggle’ with the love of his adopters. As campy as the film can be, it does show a fun slice of 1950s life of the “working-class Inglewood, Hollywood and other parts of the Los Angeles basin” where it was filmed. Age 13 is in the public domain and available from the Prelinger Archives.

Z-40′s challenge to Mexico

A communique from the special forces of Los Zetas
Message to the nation, the government, and all of Mexico and to public opinion: The special forces of Los Zetas challenges the government of Mexico and its federal forces.
Not the Army, not the Marines nor the security and antidrug agencies of the United States government can resist us. Mexico lives and will continue under the regime of Los Zetas. Let it be clear that we are in control here and although the federal government controls other cartels, they cannot take our plazas. You want proof? Look at what happened in Sinaloa and Guadalajara. If we can get all the way into their kitchen we are not going to lose control of our territory.
Sincerely, Miguel Angel Trevino Morales Z-40

"I had never heard anything like it", Aronofsky says in a press release. "I couldn't stop listening to it. Lou's crushing lyrics, and the band's incredible licks. It's so original and that's why I wanted to work on it."
Well Darren - I have NEVER heard anything like it either...
