The Sleuth Incident
Directed by: Jason Kupfer - 12 min. - USA
The story of a forlorn teddy bear who venturez out to pick up some old friends, encounter some unfamiliar terrain, and go bowling (among other things).
Stocking Stuffers
Dir. Angel Connell - 8 min. - USA
An experimental comedic film short divided in two parts. The movie examines how an object of desire can be used to enhance humane values as well as subvert them. The object of desire to the man in both halves of the film is the shapely leg of a young woman draped in hosiery. How said object of desire is utilized by its protagonists (and viewed voyeuristically by the audience) provides fuel for the intellectual fire of this thinking person's film.
