A “Disposable” Epic Shot On A Cell Phone

Les Ongles (The Nails) by Clement Deneux was the Grand Prize Winner at the Disposable Film Festival 2012 where I got to be a judge for the second year in a row. It has great fun with a handful of trends in popular filmmaking — the cell phone shot party that goes out of control among them — but always with a very unique bent. I look forward to see what Clement does next.

Shadowy “Found” Footage Makes Great Noir

I really love this short “Dans L’Ombre” (In the Shadows) directed by Fabrice Mathieu. It won the Honorable Mention at the Disposable Film Festival 2012. I was a judge and I think it is really smartly done.

I look forward to seeing more by this director.

We Will Never Know What It Really Feels Like

But from here, in front of my computer screen, outer space paired with the right soundtrack feels so fucking free and hopeful. There’s so much of it and an infinite possibility of what still is to come. Wow. I love this colossal world and all it might still become.
