Vote GDP

OK, I was against this idea.
- What idea?
- The idea to post a self-promotional text on Memefest
But my dear friend Oliver Vodeb says:
- The work is really great, important and has radical effects. The project is 100% in line with memefest...
-100%? OK, let's try... and we'll see

what about now?

Should we be asking ourselves if the natural and political events have a certain pattern? I think not.
There is no way, nature and politics work as a team - no way! But we could exclude the team work and talk about individual projects, one natural and other political.
The problem with the natural project is that we have no word or way to influence it. It is already planned in advance due to s…

2081 (corto / short film)

Los fuertes llevan pesas, los bellos usan máscaras y los inteligentes usan auriculares que disparan ruidos fuertes para evitar que tomen una ventaja injusta de sus cerebros. Pero entonces algunos deciden que ya e…
