Rhythm of Tides, the third in a trilogy of short films that address issues of dislocation, loss and memory. The trilogy is a personal response to the current conditions in Nikpay's country of Iran, and part of a larger body of work of both film and photography. Rhythm of Tides will be a cinematic essay, halfway between narrative and metaphor. Nikpay will combine visual imagery, sound-design, and minimal voice-over into a dense poetic film.

An all-female amateur boxing team are putting in their mouth guards and changing the face of boxing. As they train to compete in the world's largest international boxing tournament, they find friendship and teamwork, but also have to face issues of violence, fear, and competition.

At a time when women are told not to fight, these boxers step into the ring ready to face more than just some crosses and uppercuts -- they must also confront questions of inner strength, personal drive, and societal prejudice.

A husband and wife obsess over the mental condition of their pooch. In an effort to discover the root of the problem, they journey through the pits of veterinary madness. All for the love of Pookie.

True love is but a +2 broadsword away.

Currently in production, this documentary centers on a shocking collection of dollhouse crime scenes used to train homicide detectives. This documentary explores the woman who created them, our collective fascination with forensics, and the stories we like to tell ourselves about death. This film will be anything but predictable, even quirky, humorous and shocking while revealing our odd relationship with death, our need for mythical death storytelling (i.e. crime television) and the reality that murderers usually know their victims. Legendary filmmaker John Waters will narrate this 2008 release.
