After turning in a neighbor to evade imprisonment, Behar and Rozafa grapple with the cost of freedom in Communist Albania.
Shqiponja is a short film based on an upcoming episodic collaboration between award winning directors Daniel Clark and Erblin Nushi. The film is a unique, intimate portrayal of life inside totalitarian Communist Albania. The film shines light on a group of people swallowed up by institutional isolationism and unnoticed by history.
The script was chosen as an official selection for the Hollyshorts Film Festival 2019. Production took place in the fall of 2019.
The short will premiere at the 2021 Beverly Hills Film Festival.

Talos
Directed by Daniel Clark
Produced by Matt Silverman
Created by Swordfish
“Talos” is a Greek mythological Creature, that probably represents the first mechanical - living being… the primeval Robot.
Our modern fascination with Artificial intelligence, is closely echoed by our cultural ancestors with the depiction of Talos over two and a half millennia ago. Swordfish, a motion design studio based in San Francisco, created this passion project at the beginning of 2020.
This project was made in collaboration with Maxon as original content for their training initiative “Cineversity”.
OWNED
Directed by Daniel Clark & Wesley Tippets
Produced by Daniel Clark
“Owned” is a five-minute animated film that gives a brief glimpse into the world of Jeff, the world video game champion. Jeff is overly proud of being the world video game champion as evidenced by his tender care for his video game trophy. However, Jeff finally finds his equal when he is randomly matched against Abby, a baby girl.
To change up the regular activities of waiting in the front room of his home, he was challenged by an 8-year-old to a video game, only to be routed by the young gamer. He altered the characters and setting in the actual story and came up with the idea of Jeff and Abby’s online gaming battle.
