Filmmaker Magazine recently named the best emerging filmmakers around, including Columbia's producer extraordinaire Kim Sherman (yay, Kim!) In honor of this distinction, Ragtag samples the short work of these new voices. 

• "Notes on Biology" Ornana. Georgia-based film collective Ornana mixes animation and live action. 
• "Belly" Julia Pott. An elephant, a horse and a monster are the characters in this British-born animator heartbreakingly poignant animated film. 
• "Hey Jane" L.A.-based A.G. Rojas has brought his sometimes surreal, sometimes shocking storytelling sensibility to music videos including this one from Spiritualized. 
• "Searching for Yellow" Oregon-based Ian Clark's latest is about a graffiti artist who makes nature his canvas. 
• "Life & Freaky Times" Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva mashed up 2 Live Crew and Chris Marker. 
• "Fishing Without Nets" L.A.-based Cutter Hodierne's riveting short film about a reluctant Somali pirate won the Jury Award at Sundance. Followed by a skype Q&A with animator Julia Pott.
