The show was really good, and I found it quite inspirational. The films ranged from "student film-like" conceptual pieces, to simple narratives, to studies in time-lapse and stop-motion. 3 minuets is a great length for short films because even the ones that don't really work are over quickly, and the best films can pack quite a punch into 200 seconds. Seeing all the filmmaker types that turned out for the show also helped me realize that there is a large community of filmmakers here IN Hollywood that are not a PART of Hollywood. The show really showcased the true sprit of "independent film:" filmmaking for its challenges, filmmaking for entertainment, and film for films-sake. It wasn't about making money, building a reel, or even networking as much as it was about having fun with a super-8 camera and watching the results with your friends and peers. Now I feel like making a couple of ultra-short and simple films just to get the creative juices flowing again. And since I have nothing but time on my hands...
