Me and Isabella are like This

Woohoo, our first Sundance screening and it was great - they laughed, they cried. A nice lady from Wireimage took our photo (that's me, director Rob Connolly, co-producer Sean Michael Smith, and cinematographer Jay Visit). Currently under the Wireimage category "Sundance Short Screenings IV", I am listed directly under Isabella Rossellini in the "names" sidebar. So my day was made and I took a photo of the computer screen to commemorate the occasion. I tried calling Ms. Rossellini's hotel suite to point this fact out and see if she wanted to have lunch now that we're best friends, but for some reason the concierge wouldn't connect me.

In our program are 6 other shorts I am going to have to watch 5 more times. My two favorites so far are an amazing film from Spain called The Attack of the Robots from Nebula-5 and Next Floor: www.nextfloor-film.com . OK, three, because this movie Short Term 12 is damn near perfect: http://www.shortterm12.com/trailer.html

I've included a photo of actress Rebecca Larsen hugging the Nestle Quick Bunny who was handing out chocolate milk. Free chocolate milk and absurdist apocalyptic sci-fi movies from Spain - can you imagine a more magical place?
