Jpixx submits newest short film to Genero.TV

Written by Jon Abrahams on . Posted in Blog, Film & Video, Nova.

More than a year and a half after Jpixx’s successful Genero.tv debut with “The Puppet Alcoholic” – they’re at it again with their newest submission for Patrick Watson’s “Blackwind”. At the time of the competition deadline, there were 70 entries, making it one of the most popular songs on the site. The winner of the competition (selected by the artist himself) will become the official music video.


In this short film, Nova (who just turned 18 months old today) stars alongside his pal Helena in a romantic tale that showcases the magic of love and the importance of holding on to that magic.

“Alcoholic” Royksopp Music Vid premiers at BFI

Written by Jon Abrahams on . Posted in Blog, Film & Video.

Being a puppet to alcoholism is no laughing matter… or is it?

A finalist on the Genero.tv website – “The Alcoholic” is a video set to the tune of a Royksopp song with the same name. Here we follow a man who finds himself a puppet to alcoholism. Intended to have the look of a comedy and the feel of a tragedy – this video juxtaposes the two with a combination of puppetry and live action. Think “Avenue Q” meets “Requiem for A Dream”

Although the film was selected as a Runner Up to the overall competition on Genero.TV – it was honorarily selected to premier at a special BUG event during London’s BFI (British Film Institute) screening. A special writeup can be found here.
