SHORT FILM SHOWCASE FOUR
Making
new friends can be dangerous in WATCH ME BURN, and how long until you are
pushed over the edge? in THE FAIRY MOON. Those happy memories don't always
offer the perfect picture in FRAME. Dating can be a haunting experience in
OUIJA GO OUT WITH ME? while it's those little noises that can drive you insane
in UNDERTONE. But sometimes it's good to get away and find yourself in
HOMECOMING. However, some things are best unseen in DON'T LOOK and remember always to try and respect your elders in GRANDMA IS THIRSTY.
