Distillation
Serene Chu

In an era of mass AI layoffs where human labor is replaced and stamped ‘Value: 0’, Distillation explores what truly defines our worth. The film proves that while technical skills can be automated and distilled, human love, empathy, and moral courage remain irreducible. Technology must ultimately serve humanity—not replace it—restoring our shared dignity, connection, and hope.
Theo was the arrogant architect of “Skill”—the algorithm meant to elevate humanity that instead stripped millions of their livelihood and dignity.
 
Crushed by guilt, Theo now watches over Mia in her hospital room. Haunted by the memory of his deceased wife and tied to Mia by an intricate, unspoken bond, he searches in vain for redemption. How does a creator fix a world he broke?
 
The turning point strikes when a vase of orange roses and a whispered word—”Hope”—shatters Mia’s amnesia, unraveling a buried truth. As the repentant creator prepares to tear down his own system, love and memory become the ultimate revelation.
Hero Without the O
Stephanie Hunter Jones

From stolen innocence to sacred reclamation, this short film confronts the commodification of the female body and rewrites its meaning. Moving through child, woman, and crone, she reclaims pleasure as power—and transforms a history of exploitation into embodied sovereignty.
My inspirational videos are crafted from my original words, oil paintings, and vintage photographs.  The Monet of Healing. When art becomes medicine in motion.

In July 2025 in the UK  the Environment Agency released data that states incidents of serious pollution have risen 60% in a year. The government then announced that Ofwat (the water authority) is set to be abolished and a new all powerful regulator created all because of systemic problems with our water system. But is it too little too late?
