It's been an eventful and film-packed year for Short of the Week. Let's take a moment to look back at the biggest and most important events in the world of short films from this past year.
Serafima Serafimova / London Contributor As a filmmaker, self-confessed Vimeo addict and lover of Short of the Week, I came dangerously close to having a stroke when Jason Sondhi (THE Jason Sondhi) got in touch with me 12 months ago, asking to have a chat. Fast forward a few weeks and I was part of a team I had been admiring for years, watching some incredible shorts and getting paid for it too! Yes, it really is as good as it sounds.
Céline Roustan / Toronto ContributorAs 2017 comes to an end, I wrap my first year at Short of the Week. What a year since Jason welcomed me to the team — first as an intern, then a few months later as a full person.
Adam Banks / Cincinnati Contributor / @akbanx With each passing year, life seems to get busier and busier, and with this escalation of busy-ness comes an annoying choice: you can either sacrifice something you love doing because the other thing takes up too much time, or you can say “fuck it” and double down on both. For me, Thing 1 was screening and writing about films for Short of the Week (my favorite sidegig ever), and Thing 2 was working as a crew member on feature films (a massive timesuck that I very much love being a part of).
Happy Holidays everyone! Ivan prepared a YouTube show on Dark, Twisted Holiday shorts just this month you should check out, however, at this point, I'm a wee bit tired of shorts that explicitly reference the season. There has to be more than that to make a classic.
