LANGUAGE WARNING
Here's something to get you primed for Halloween. Spooky Club may not be the best short film you've ever seen and the Wes Anderson influence is working overtime, BUT... For all you filmmakers out there, this is what I would suggest you take away from Spooky Club: production design is everything. 90% of what makes Spooky Time work was done before the first frame was ever shot.
This short documentary focuses on the life of Josh Spencer, owner and operator of “The Last Bookstore”, located in Downtown Los Angeles. Against the closure of massive bookstore chains and the rise of eReaders, Josh has been able to create a local resurgence of the printed word. We explore his life as a father, husband, small business owner, and paraplegic, as well as the store’s magnetic attraction of the community.
We've got a short doc to share today because I'm all about paper and analog, man. It'll draw you in; it's a good story.

An animation student, Pascal Floerks, tells a story about his grandfather's past in this short film. Visually substituting a bear for his grandfather was an interesting and, in my estimation, very effective choice. Why do you think he made that decision?

For filmmakers struggling to find inspiration; a reminder that it can come from anywhere. This short adapts a Charles Bukowski poem to great effect. Exercise those filmmaking muscles whenever and wherever you can. Develop style. Develop voice. Don't agonize over writing the perfect script or finding the perfect hook at the cost of your own evolution.
NOTE: MATERIAL IS A BIT MATURE (but nothing we're too embarrassed to share)
As I edit and design Space Cops t-shirts in my pajamas, it seems like a good time to share a video with you. The Oscars are tomorrow night and
Fresh Guacamole
is the shortest film ever nominated. Now you can act like smarto tomorrow and tell everyone you've seen this.
