The Guarantee
This short film is playing as part of the same shorts program as PARK(ing) Day. The Guarantee is a very funny and well conceived short about a male ballet dancer who is unsubtly pressured into getting a nose job so that he doesn't distract from all the swans. The coolest part is that the entire film is shot in a timelapse, over the shoulder shot of a storyboard artist as he illustrates the tale. The timing they worked out between the beats of the VO and the drawings are perfect and hilarious. It always feels good when a movie really makes you laugh.
Here is a link to an interview with the director. Chances of this coming to a theater near you are zero but I'm sure it will turn up online.
Tonight, "I'm Not There", the non-biopic biopic of Bob Dylan from Todd Haynes and starring Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan.
