Yesterday marked the online debut of the 2011 Sundance Competition short films, and in that first batch of 4 films we were treated to the World Premiere of New York-based filmmaker Nick Paley's Andy and Zach—my favorite short in the program. Nick Paley happens to be a fan of Short of the Week, so we traded emails regarding the film, Sundance, and his thoughts on short films online.
A cherished tradition, every year Sundance releases a selection of short films from their competition lineup onto the internet for the duration of the fest. It is an excellent way for fans at home to connect with the goings on, and for short film fans in particular, a great way to spy some of the year's top shorts early in their festival run.
We're looking forward to Sundance 2020 by highlighting work that should be on your radar—a mix of features and shorts from members of the S/W alum community.
Sundance is happening, and we've rounded up 5 official short film selections from this year's fest that you can watch right now.
