ZUF Film Festival

Welcome to Zero Untitled’s first ever original film festival! Continuing in our tradition of bringing film projects to the masses (“Kult Klassics” and “Kult Klassics II”), we are proud to give you this year’s offerings in unique independent films and music videos. What the ZUF Film Festival offers is a fantastic variety of film projects spanning all different genres and mediums.

Til Death Do Us Part – dir. Rick Saenz

An intriguing take on the classic love triangle.

MUSIC VID: Paul Desmond’s “Take 5” – dir. William Martwick

Can you offer me a light?

Waiting For Helen – dir. Heraclio Gonzalez, Jr.

A little hope goes a long way.

MUSIC VID: DJ Oringe “In Regards” – dir. Michael Verderber

Sometimes love makes us feel like shells, like Wooden men trancing and traipsing about the city.

Winter: Allegro Non Molto – Dir. Brian Worrall

Like you’ve never seen in South Texas.

U Are Who U Are – dir. Megan Saenz

A small quest in expressing yourself.

Satan and the Hot Babes – Dir. Heraclio Gonzalez, Jr.

From the raunchy hit Halloween play!

Mimeumentary – dir. Michael Verderber

You have to earn your mark in the entertainment whenever, wherever, and however you can.

Riviera, TX: The First Hundred Years – Dir. Carl Saltarelli

The documentary includes reproductions of original photographs, recreations of period action, interviews with second and third generation settlers, and actual events during the Centennial celebration.

Carpe Diem – dir. Brian Worrall

I read the news today, oh boy.

Green Blood…Ouch!!! – dir. Jason Brown

A comedy/horror/drama/clay and Japanese animation/ action/musical/romance/fantasy/documentary film.

MUSIC VID: Chris Deburgh’s “Lady in Red” – Dir. Rick Saenz/ Heraclio Gonzalez, jr.

Dreams come true! But not really…

Talent – dir. Heraclio Gonzalez, jr.

Life is mundane when you can’t do anything. One Man searches for his talent.

Tent to Fiesta – Dir. Brian Worrall

Here’s to boredom and home improvement.

Squarsh! – Dir. Brian Worrall

A day in the life.

MUSIC VID: Verderber’s “Slipping” – dir. Michael Verderber

An ode from the director/singer to his ex-girlfriend (aka hedgie).

The Suicide Note – dir. Heraclio Gonzalez, Jr.

Sometimes, friendship can hold together the only fragments left. Sometimes, all you need is a friend.

Music Vid: Linkin Park’s “Shadow of the Day” – Dir. Zak Houston

No doubt an all too familiar feeling and situation.

Over White Wine – dir. Michael Verderber

“Finally…it’s done,” he told her. A thirst of lust and money lingers.
