The Faux Film Festival has just posted its list of films that’ll be shown at this year’s event. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Unfortunately I don’t think I can make it up there, but I want to encourage all my Portland-area friends to go to the festival if they can. I believe they’ll be putting up a schedule eventually, so you can aim for the night they show my film if you want.
Does look interesting. I’m suprised that there isn’t more animation in the group. Your’s appears to be among the minority.
So, I just got back from the festival, which I attended with both Kevin and Colin. There were some pretty strong entries, including a Mockumentary featuring Daily Show regular Ed Helms, and a slick future vision called Smart Card which clearly had serious production values behind it.
“I Will Destroy You” stood out as one of the few sci-fi pieces, rather than Horror – the other theme of today’s shorts, It drew a great audience response, especially the triple take on the “hero’s” initial leap. One of only two animated pieces (the other being a funny, but somewhat stiff and slow Computer rendered piece about a woman who kills everything around her) it provided a breath of fresh air in a festival marred by amateur actors woodenly delivering mostly lines.
I’d never seen the short before, but was really entertained by it. It’s anime-esque content actually caught me by suprise, and I wondered if people who had never met you might consider it the work of one of those anime consuming japan-o-phile fan boys. Just a thought.
Had a nice connection with your folks too.
