Doubling as the Volume II release, Revolutionere was a celebration of the young artists who generate work as a power grab back from an oppressive administration.

This is the second time we feature the work of the talented up-and-coming director Sebastian Sdaigui on Howl Magazine. Back in June, we wrote about his short film Headless, a captivating and refreshing look into the lives of three gender-queer artists living and thriving in New York City. Some of his past work also includes visually stunning music videos, such as Troi Irons' "Today". This week, Sdaigui premiered another impressive short film– The Girl In The Woods – starring
