As a huge Tropfest fan I went straight to it's website to find some great short films; here are the 3 that I like from the Tropfest site.
I chose this first movie because it was shot entirely on a mobile phone. As we had done something similar afew weeks ago I thought it would be good to show some quality filming using a phone. The filming is impressive as the entire moving shows a guy walking extremely slowly (which was later sped up) to make the rest of the world look like it is rushing by him and he can't make a connection with anyone... So the technical aspect of the filming was a major part in the story telling.
I chose this move because I found it funny and a little bit of a commentary on the phenomena that is the viral You Tube video; and some peoples obsessed desire to be in the public eye.
From the title of this movie "Smoking will kill you" you would be mistaken for thinking it was about the harms of smoking. Ultimately it's about looking on the bright side. The main guy was a reasonably happy guy until all the negative things in his life were pointed out to him.
