It all starts when Lilly embalms the school mascot, crashes her father's car into her mother's tombstone, and ends up trying to help William kill himself. From there things start to get more complicated.
The Failures is a sad, but surprisingly funny, romantic comedy about a group of messed-up miss-fits.

I do believe I've posted this before, but I love it, so here it is again, Ten Thousand Pictures of You.
When I began watching the film, Harvest (written and directed by Justin Halliday), I really expected it to be sort of unoriginal...a very typical boys-finds-mysterious door, goes through it, and his life is turned upside down...and in many ways it sort of is the film you expect it to be. In many ways, however, it is not. I'd definitely say it's worth a view. Take a look:
This is an interesting little short. Directed by Hikaru Yamakawa, Oh Hisse, which translates loosely to "heave ho" is certainly sort of quirky. I like it. I hope you enjoy:
A great film is one that draws you in, that captures you in one moment or many. No matter how "realistic," no matter how fantastical, a good film makes one feel like anything is possible. But where's the tipping point? Can a film ever be too real?
More Real, produced by Sonia Bednar, explores that boundary line. A director, fights to make a "real" drama. While police power, government interference, and media influence all certainly receive criticism in this short, I find the exploration of realism vs. fantasy an interesting theme. Check it out:
Every once in awhile I feature a music video that I think captures some essence of film, and today I'm bringing you another one. Directed by Genevieve Bailey, "Never Alone" is a video from the Melbourne band, Winterpark. I think it's lovely. Enjoy:
Telling Mark opens with Mark and his wife Carlotta preparing for a dinner party. While he confesses that his workmates have been acting a little strangely towards him, their dinner guests prepare to tell him something.
Produced by Despina Catselli and written and directed by Guy Ducker, Telling Mark is a dark film that kept me pretty riveted throughout. Enjoy:
It's been awhile since I've featured anything from Portable Film Festival, so today I thought I'd bring you this one:
The Changing Man is a simple, classic break up story...with one little twist. It's strange. It's funny. It's prototypical. Check it out:
Come along with Coreshot Films as they show you the first comprehensive film about Freeskiing. From the first even to the finals, Linescore illustrates what it takes to compete on NOrth America's premier big mountain circuit.
Check out "The Passenger" from Scorpio-Dragon Pictures. On her way home from visiting her sister, a young woman's car runs low in gas in a dark, rural town where several murders have taken place. She has enough gas to take her to a gas station, but her relief turns to fear when the gas station attendant acts suspicious.
