Shorts I See

2013
Lewis Vaughn
A colorful experimental premonition.
A little too abstract. Apparently the future holds nothing but a weird acid trip.
Not Recommended

Eyelids
Brad Bischoff
An adorable love note from a boy to a girl.
Incredibly romantic and lovely from beginning to end.
Recommended

Mandrake
Andy Cahill
A woodland creature burrows away with his ceramic collection. Claymation.
Very eerie and yet some how adorable. Reminiscent of Tim Burton's first shorts.
Recommended

Spontaneous Generation
Andy Cahill
Grotesque creatures spawn from nothing. Claymation.
A little disgusting, but it's certainly on purpose. Gooey with a good nature and an appropriate sound track.
Recommended

Trepan Hole
Andy Cahill
Two creatures battle it out in a psychedelic landscape.
Moderately dizzying but the animation is impressive, yet again.
Recommended

Something Happened in There Once
Tommy Heffron
A mysterious psychological glance at memory, myth and dreams.
Successfully spooky short that seems to chronicle the deterioration of sanity with an impressive script.
Recommended

Birds Watching
L.E. Eastman
A day in Chicago through the eyes of pigeons.
Birds-eye view is an interesting topic, and the B.O.V. shots are accented with a fish eye lens. Unfortunately, the film falls short and fails to provide adequate insight into the bird's perception.
Not Recommended


Happy Man's Pants
Kunal Savkur
A gloomy king searches for happiness in the form of pants.
Well acted with quality production. The style and tone is over the top and reminiscent of Bollywood. Funny and appropriate for the whole family, though the title is slightly misleading in that sense.
