Hluboký Tón (Deep Note) - Emma Brown and Max Rissman (Summit, New Jersey)
In this short, sweetly perverse comedy, Julia is suffering from an immense dissatisfaction with her sex life. When a dumpy tuba player moves into the apartment below her, she writes him off as a nobody, until she hears him practicing his instrument through her walls. As she becomes insatiably curious about her new neighbor, and learns that he, too, has unusual sexual preferences, she must reevaluate all of her previously held notions of beauty and desire. In Czech, subtitled. 2011; 11 min. Winner 2012 New Jersey International Film Festival Best Student Film!

As she begins to navigate between the real and the imagined, her own identity comes undone. 2012; 25 min. Winner 2012 New Jersey International Film Festival Best Experimental Film!
