I was this close to hitting Park City for the weekend after our Wednesday night show in Wyoming (yes, Wyoming). We also apparently have a song playing in one of the features. But alas, I have more music to make and more movies to not watch. So if you’re there, holler with an on-location report. Thankfully, for the rest of us, Sundance is branching out into the world of free downloadable shit.
Swiped from my dude Cesar’s new animation blog, Art of the Cartoon:
For anyone interested, iTunes has 10 Sundance 2009 Short Films available for download for FREE!!! (act now, it’s free until January 25, 2009).
Here is the list of short films on iTunes with descriptions:
Acting for the Camera —An acting class. Today’s scene: the orgasm from ‘When Harry Met Sally.’
Countertransference —A comedy about an awkward woman with assertiveness problems who seeks the questionable help of a therapist.
HUG—Drew is a musician with a contract ready to sign. When Asa, his friend and manager, realizes Drew is off his meds the across-town drive to sign the contract becomes significantly more complicated.
Field Notes From Dimension X: Oasis —Captain Fred T. Rogard muses in isolation on planet Oasis.
From Burger It Came —An animated film that recounts early 1980s-era Cold War fears of a young boy in middle America. Using a variety of techniques, the visual narrative is colorfully assembled over semi-documentary audio conversations between a grown adult recounting his fears and his mother’s memory of the time and her own concerns.
I Live In The Woods —A Woodsman’s fast-paced journey, fueled by happiness, slaughter, and a confrontation with America’s God.
Instead of Abracadabra—Tomas is a little bit too old to still be living with his parents, but his dream of becoming a magician leaves him with no other option.
James—A young man grapples with the impulses and thoughts about being gay.
Magnetic Movie—Natural magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries, as scientists from NASA’s space sciences laboratory excitedly describe their discoveries.
This Way Up—Laying the dead to rest has never been so much trouble.
