Violet Hubris is a cosmic action-horror game exploring humanity’s thirst for knowledge, power, and belonging in a harsh universe. Created by SAE Melbourne students – this project features work from cross-disciplines, meaning students in different courses collaborated to bring the project to life.
We love the motion, fantasy, colour and drama of this one. Games, Animation, Audio and Design students collaborated on this project.

We Are Our Totem: A Native American Tale is an SAE student documentary by Mivon Prince-Leyva.
Mivon was assisted by SAE staff to get the film festival ready and it has won over 14 awards and garnered attention from the filmmaker, Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film & 2040) – with a possible collaboration on the horizon for Mivon.
Mivon said, “This project was created while I was a student for a Bachelor of Film at SAE Brisbane. It was completed in September 2021 and then further edited and refined in early 2022, in readiness for the festival circuit and to showcase.”
Synopsis
My father is a Native American Medicine Man and I myself, have been training to be one as well since I was 8 years old.
The Native American culture is so beautiful and divine that I felt there was no story being told about one of the aspects of what makes first nation cultures truly beautiful. And that is their communion with how they respect and look up to their ancestors and animals — creating more of a balance between humans, animals and all living things working together, synergy as one. Working with planet Earth and not driving towards divide and conquer. But working towards how to make a better life for all living things.
SAE student, Ness Mari, recorded a live stream for her performance in Music Studio 3, a unit of the Bachelor of Songwriting and Music Production course.
We think Ness is such a talent and we just can’t stop watching this one.
