As I write, Surface Film is available to view on both IMDb and YouTube. Three minutes of street life as viewed from below an opaque ground-level surface, it begins with various items being dropped and splatting on this surface, followed by domestic scenes, before proceeding to the streets where people walk, play, fight, and vehicles drive, in sync with rhythmic, percussive, Tap Dogs-like music. This choreography, along with the crisp, bright graphic design, are the film's strongest suites. The overall product could easily be a commercial for an IT company or similar, and as a calling card it's a striking, memorable piece of work. As art, on the other hand, I don't find much that resonates, the obligatory meaningful 'shock' ending adds little. Surface Film, then, is an apt title for this cute but superficial commercial.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

The music genre features stories showcasing musical performances, music-related documentaries and recordings of live concerts and music festivals.
