The Shorts Program #3 were crappy. No need to discuss. Just crappy immature and amateurish films with a supernatural theme.
PATRICK'S DAY written and directed by Terrence McMahon about a schizophrenic young man who falls in love for the first time is well made, beautifully acted and intelligent in its treatment of mental illneass. A mother's obsessive love for her son interferes with any possibility for him to have an intimate relationship. Well acted by Moe Dunford, his first feature length film.
ANIMALS, written by and starring David Dastmalchian is deserving of all the accolades its been receiving. A couple addicted to heroin spend their days conning, lying, cheating to chase their fix. The film is well acted and realistic in its presentation of their increasingly dreadful lives. One of the finest narrative films I have seen at SXSW.
Sadness in the air and in my heart all day. A tragic and senseless act of vehicular rampage has altered the lives of many in Austin. Hard to watch so many festive and frolicking young folks as I walked back over the river without being reminded of the early a.m. incident. Happy to stay on the south side of the river tomorrow at ZACH.
