The pitch
Hourglass (2026)
Sand is the second-most exploited resource in the world. In Southeast Asia, escalating demand fuels an opaque and often illegal trade. Hourglass, an immersive documentary short, juxtaposes Singapore's ever-rising skylines to the sinking shores of Vietnam's Mekong Delta, creating an unsettling portrait of an urgent crisis carrying profound human costs.
It shares its release window with Scary Movie, so expect the two fanbases to be reacting side by side.
The theatrical release lands June 4, 2026.
