Bullethead
Running time: 12 mins
What would it mean to wake up one morning and find all your beliefs had vanished in the shifting winds? This is the story of Derek, a luge racer from a former Eastern Bloc republic. As a child, his skull was surgically altered to make him the world's most aerodynamic human. Now the winds of change swirling about him become the greatest test of his resiliency.
