Official Selection

　　written and directed by Brian Crano
　　premiered at Palms Springs International Festival of Short Films 2008.

　　After watching over five hundred short films we decided to make this one, a composite of the ideas currently passing for contemporary short films.
　　Tropes lampooned include the above mentioned pointlessness of the narrative - if a narrative is even attempted, random acts of retributive violence, all things Iraq war, random nudity - not serving the story, polymorphic sexuality - and more over the suggestion of homosexuality, obtuse meaningless dialogue, unnecessary subtitling as an act of cleverness, blurry handheld self-consciously edgy photography, shock-me shock-me type jibes at religion and the ideas of America.
