Sintel

Dir: Colin Levy / Prod: Ton Roosendaal / Screenplay: Esther Wouda

Sintel is an epic fantasy film set in a distant, mystical land. A girl finds a little dragon and tries to raise it - Some of you may have seen this but if you haven't you must ... Created using the free/open source 3D creation suite Blender, this 15 minute film has been realized in the studio of the Amsterdam Blender Institute, by an international team of artists and developers ... basically it kicks ass and has a great story too.

Facebook Screwed My Life

Dir/Prod/Wr: David Choi / Prod: Duri Choi, Jason Ju / Music: Daniel VJ Kumar (Nave 279)

Our world has changed... Facebook is here. But are we better off? Whatever happened to human interaction? Asking a girl out in real life? Actually laughing at your friends jokes? Are we really the people we say we are online? I dunno. That's why I made this song - Great little satirical ditty that is relevant and funny ... cause it's true ... Watch out for the groovy dance breakdown

On Saturday we screen at least another 5 shorts for your viewing pleasure!

What a Debacle Freddy Farkle

Do you feel that your life's a debacle? Then you need to meet Freddy Farkle! Freddy Farkle is a mess. Late to work again, dressed in no more than roller-skates and a ballet skirt, Freddy is oblivious to the fact that his unkempt house is also reflective of his ‘skitter-scatty’ approach to life. Welcome to the adventures of Freddy Farkle and related Debacles.

It would be great to get some feedback from members on the Shorts themselves, and also on Fillim and the Distribution and TVOD package that we offer to Indies everywhere.

Thanks all!

Cheers,

Joa
