Move Over Denim, It’s Time For Some Screen Door Shorts!
While you may be dreaming of the breeziness that would occur on your man/lady bits with a pair of shorts made of screen doors, that notion actually has nothing to do with the next round of shorts presented by Screen Door Film. However, you are more than welcome to show up on Wednesday night at the Salvage Vanguard Theater wearing all mesh; who are we to tell you what to do? Personally, we’re gonna stick with jorts. (Yes, we know that we have made this joke before. Many, many times before.)
Continuing to bring you only the most outstanding short films from across the globe, Screen Door has again compiled eight tasty nuggets for your viewing enjoyment, including pictures by hot hot Austin directors Bryan Poyser (who we talked to during SXSW), Chris McInroy and Chris Ohlson.
Wait? You want to actually know what you are going to be watching while wearing your see-through pantalones? Well then, keep reading after the jump!
- Grammy's by Austin's own Bryan Poyser, director of Dear Pillow and producer of the The Cassidy Kids. Two brothers have a really bad time on a fishing trip until a stranger makes them a bizarre but lucrative offer.
- Recently Deceased by Austin director Chris McInroy. Jim doesn't know how he died or why he's back from the dead. He does know that he needs to water the plants, take out the trash, and figure out what the missing piece of his to-do-list says before he rots away, or his killer kills him again.
- My Electric Bill by Chris Olhson. A late payment on the electric bill becomes a battle of wills, pitting an incensed apartment dweller against the forces of the power company.
- Holidays With Heather by Todd Berger. Spend the holidays with Steve and his new girlfriend. Revel in the delight of their blossoming love. Recoil in horror from their bitter break up...although not necessarily in that order.
- Coney Island, USA by Craig Butta. Ritchie, a down and out carnival hustler, struggles to survive in a changing Coney Island. With the addition of a new train station and more visitors than ever, Ritchie cannot seem to make things work. His only solace is his unrequited love for a sideshow freak.
- Matias by Mary Spicuzza and Claudine LoMonaco. MatÌas retraces the journey of MatÌas Juan GarcÌa Zavaleta, a Mexican migrant who died trying to cross the border into the United States. It is told by those who loved MatÌas most - his mother and father, his widow, and his little brother who held him as he died.
- Losing Lusk by Vance Malone. A boy was born in Lusk, Wyoming, in the least populated county, in the least populated state in the nation. This is the story of what that boy left behind and took for his journey.
- The Big Toe (Le Gros Orteil) by Matthew Quezada. Marcel, a young boy, finds a human toe on the beach in 1960s France. His mother and father find it repulsive and want him to throw it away. Marcel refuses and the nasty parents attempt to steal the toe from their son. Their attempts are thwarted, however, as the toe's rightful owner comes looking for reprisal and his appendage.
