You know, it sometimes seems like the Women's Film Festival is a rest-stop on the road to short film glory. I mean, not to toot our own proverbial horn, but hey, we screen some good flicks you know what I mean? And if you don't, please allow me to clarify, rarify and exemplify:
Eva Madden, she whose mug currently adorns our Feature Filmmaker page [1], has put in the time and her short film, Eastern Shore, which screened at our 2007 Festival, has just gotten a broadcast deal on Movieola [2]. You can watch Eastern Shore for free on the information superway [3] on January 30.
Now, I don't mean to be telling tales out of school but if you haven't heard of Mike O'Neill (whose music is featured in Eastern Shore), well then you've got some work to do. Check him out on CBC Radio 3 [4], the official public broadcaster for hipsters everywhere.
No one hit wonders are we: New Boy [5], which screened this year at the 19th WFF, just picked up a nod for Best Live Action Short [6] at the 81st Annual Academy Awards (aka the place where they dress up and hand out little gold men [7])! Now this is no mean feat and screenwriter/director Steph Green (this is only her third film!) has earned a drink if you see her out around. Congratulations to Steph and all the crew responsible for such a tremendous accomplishment!
