    Q&A with Sundance Filmmaker Nick Paley (Andy & Zach)

    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.

    Retro Short Films: Tribeca 2011 Film Festival

    Tribeca's (Online) Film Festival this year is quite extensive: 6 feature films, 9 in-competition shorts and these—9 "retro" shorts from the festival's past, all available for free! We'll cover this year's competition shorts in a series of forthcoming posts, but remember that Tribeca has their own spin on this online thing, so make sure to reserve a 24-hour screening window for each film in advance. These 9 retro shorts are a bit easier to manage, rather than signing up for specific 24-hour screening periods, they are available to view at any time between now and May 1st.

    Sundance 2011 Short Films Online: Program 3

    If I could have somehow avoided the news about Sundance starting today, I would have—today is the start of the 34th straight Sundance Festival that yours truly will be failing to attend. 34 times have films been watched, pitches been made, deals been sealed, without me.
