Stash turns 21 this month and to celebrate we're breaking open a magnum of the planet's finest animation, VFX and design work and serving it up with two tasty BONUS programs - The Stash Shorts Mini-Fest 1 is a collection of head-turning and very personal works from three solo film makers plus a killer six-track music sampler from hyper-smooth indie outfit Consumers Research and Development.

Stash 21 opens with an unexpected and emotional piece from Lobo for the Buenos Aires Zoo before cranking up the volume and the VFX in landmark pieces with Framestore CFC replicating critters for Noam Murro and MPC replicating actors (or not) for Nexus and Coke. Plus - Massmaket gets tough on pixies for Dodge, Sway bridge the reality gap for Chevy and Mikros Image puts Wanda under their thumb.

As the bubbly goes to our head, we swerve briefly off the commercial path into the atmospheric world of 1930's Paris in Kent Hugo's 3D short L'or Rouge . Broadcast design on this reel is probably the most diverse selection we've ever featured including stop-motion Star Trek 2.0 promos for G4 from Rogue Creative, anime-inspired work from Buck, vamped-out heavy metal demon-chicks from UVPH, hallucinogen-enhancing HD work from the Mill and three more beautiful Billy Collins interstitials from the Sundance Channel.

Okay, I'm only half way through the bottle… uh, disk, and running out of space so a quick wrap up – Stash 21 also features visually innovative music videos from DAf (Santiago), Las Palmas (Helsinki), Adamame (NY) and Draw Pictures (London), brilliant short films from Pistachios (Stockholm) and Jake Portman/Bill Sneed (LA), the stunning game cinematic for Monster Farm 5 Circus Caravan from Digital Media Lab (Japan) as well as 100 proof spots from Tokyo Plastic, Ring of Fire and Method. Finally, just before we pass out in a haze of visual overload, we close with Wilfrid Brimo's hilarious and soulful new sequel to his groundbreaking and multi-award winning 2005 Aides spot.
