WET was born out of an exercise that we all, directing students, did to explore female sexuality in my class. This was my response to it. I wanted to make a movie without any words, but that could speak volumes about the sexiness, cuteness, grossness and disgustingness of real female horniness. For this I used the mouth, where many experience our first contact with feelings of pleasure, the cavity that represents a million different things (Freud is fistbumping the air right now). What we use to eat, to kiss, to vomit, and to talk to each other.

Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved.
Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
