Three Sloan-supported short films have recently been completed.

Aaron Lemle’s BAT BOY is being distributed on Omeleto, YouTube’s top showcase of award-winning short films. Aaron says that “BAT BOY has had a fantastic festival run, screening at three Academy-qualifying festivals, winning multiple awards, and reaching audiences from Italy to Chile. Thank you to the all-star cast and crew that made this film possible, the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the UCLA Institute of Environment and Sustainability, and to everyone who touched this film in big and small ways.” You can watch the film here.

Noam Argov’s VERSE is complete and seeking distribution. Noam says: “When I was shooting the film, that exhibit at MoMI from about a year ago that had all those video games and technology was a huge inspiration to me in pushing the boundaries of the medium.”

Camille Hamadé’s TO FADE AWAY is complete and in the midst of its festival run. Hamadé is also concluding four years of research, culminating in a feature version of the film. He has just finished the screenplay. The festival run of the short will conclude in 2026.

All of these films will one day be made available for free on Sloan Science & Film.
