Shorts I See

"Good Taste"
Greth Productions
An obsessive record collector is crazed by an accusation against a friend.
Hipsters gone mad - artistic and reminiscent of new wave cinema, but all together slightly kitschy.
Recommended

"Sink Hole"
Greth Productions
A man is unable to resist a temptation.
Very dark and twisted and extremely short. Hilarious.
Recommended

"Wet Skin"
Lindsay Denninberg
A perverted retelling of Hans Christians Anderson's classic The Little Mermaid.
A beautifully metaphoric art piece that instructs us not to mess with nature.
Recommended

"Type"
Kyle Romaneck
A young professional desperately tries to reconnect with humanity by contacting a prostitute on Craigslist.
An interesting concept with poor execution and a weak script. The film quickly sidles into cliché.
Not Recommended


"Pages of Wings"
Min Jeong Cho
An experimental piece about chaos... and books... I think.
Wonderfully shot with surreal sound effects and gruesome elements. I don't know what happened, but I still enjoyed watching it.
Recommended

"Mermaid"
Kate Gragg
A film about isolation and human needs.
I really enjoyed the intense emotional drives clashing against naiveté. Psychologically rich,
Recommended


"Always Ride the Horse in the Direction It's Going"
Kevin Eskew
The Old West with a quirky additive.
Very cute, clever and short.
Recommended.
