A Star Is Born

Shameless cross-promotion? You betcha.

Some friends of mine made a short film for Creative Loafing's ShortCuts ATL short film contest. The premise of the contest is this: include some part of Atlanta. Keep it around 5 minutes. And shoot the entire thing on either a phone, a point-and-shoot camera or a flip camera. We chose to shoot the entire thing on iPhones-- limiting, but hopefully in a charming kind of way?

I'm in it, but if that doesn't sway you, so is a gnome. Sort of.

In any case, as far as I know there are judges picking their favorites, but there's some awards or accolades up for grabs that depend on views, likes and YouTube comments, so if you're so inclined, fire up the old YouTube account and write some poorly-written but flattering things about the film.

Just think, if I get famous, you know I won't forget you.

Film below, or for maximum impact, on YouTube.
