Michael TULLY (1974, USA) was in 2006 deemed one of the ‘25 New Faces of Independent Film’ by Filmmaker Magazine thanks to his debut Cocaine Angel, which had its world premiere in Rotterdam. As well as filmmaker, he is also active as blogger, musician and house-painter.

A family holiday in Ocean City turns the life of 13-year-old Rad upside down. He falls in love for the first time, has to deal with bullies, makes a new best friend and is able to play ping-pong to his heart’s content. Great ode to the 1980s teenager film, with oldskool hip-hop beats.

Ping Pong Summer

We all have an idea of what an American film is. Septien may change that. A story that does not allow itself to be predicted. A location you cannot place. And a brother who suddenly returns home after 18 years - but why? And why did he disappear in the first place?

Septien

An addicted man drifts further and further away from reality. He looks to be close to a normal existence, but his demise is inevitable. And we still haven't given me under way.
