My name is Peyton Schabilion. I am from Southern California and I am the oldest sibling of three. From 2015-2018 I was the lead anchor at Irvine High School and was the longest running female anchor in the school’s history. In 2016, I won Best 24 hour Film at the Orange County Film Festival (OCFF) and in 2017 I won “Best Anchor” and “Best Broadcast.” In 2018 I was a judge for the SoCal Film Festival. I partnered with others and oversaw the international, experimental and animation films.
I am currently a Junior Cinema and Photo major at Ithaca College. I look forward to adapting and growing with my fellow filmmakers as we navigate a new post-pandemic way of creating and filmmaking.
Val, a punk rock teen, rebellious and daring, finds herself often at odds within her little backcountry community. As she continues to live among the seemingly happy-go-lucky town gowers, she finds clues that lead her to believe she is in a simulation and it isn’t her first time discovering this secret.
Val quite literally challenges everything she is told as she discovers the world around her is built to contain her mind. She fights to retain her reality.
As a team of filmmakers head down to Hell, they meet a few very interesting people.

I am a junior Cinema Production Major at IC with a double minor in Art and Environmental Science. I enjoy making experimental and fiction films. Over the past couple of years, I have created a path for myself towards the more artistic side of filmmaking, like set design and props, and one day hope to become a production designer. Besides film, I am a semi-professional chef and love skiing and being outdoors.
An experimental documentary about self-love, female and non-binary conforming empowerment, body confidence, and discovering what it means to truly live a physically and mentally healthy life. This film brings new meaning on the theme of body confidence and embraces each and every one of us as unique beings. When making this film, hearing all of the different experiences of the people I interviewed, it really made me feel inspired and, at times, not so alone in the world. What this film means to me is fighting back against societal norms and breaking down the expectations of people who have no authority over how one person should look, based on pre-determined stereotypes or assumptions.
Alison True is a filmmaker that enjoys creating stop-motion animation. She specializes in paper animation, and is experimenting with 3D animation. Outside of the creative work, she works with the Ithacan newspaper as a multimedia editor. She hopes to hone her skills in animation and journalism in the future.
Our character is intimidated by a mysterious force, but it turns out to be more fantastic than it appears.
This film fits the theme "to struggle with a higher power" because the higher power you are fighting against may not always be what you think it is. What you are struggling with may be something completely different than what you imagine, and could even help you. Your struggles will not be ignored, your struggles are valid. And you can create a positive with whatever you are handed.
