Consent

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Con­sent is a cute short film that plays on the fact that two peo­ple should thor­oughly dis­cuss sex before actu­ally doing the deed. How thor­ough? Well you’ll see just as two young adults lean in for the kiss. The lan­guage is rather sug­gestible so don’t play this in front of the kid­dies. The film has writ­ten and directed by Jason Reit­man and won a cou­ple of awards. It’s eas­ily worth a few moments of your time.

Alma

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Alma is another award win­ning short film that is avail­able to watch online for a lim­ited time. It’s beau­ti­fully ani­mated and while it’s writ­ten and directed out­side of the U.S., there are no lan­guage bar­ri­ers because this film has no words. It’s got a lot of dolls in it and if you ever thought they were creepy, this just might explain why.
