Firstly, I’d like to thank Ayla (of Twisted Celluloid) for the idea of this week’s short, “Betty Boop in Snow-White”. The change over the past seventy-five years has been a big one, and it is very evident in this cartoon. In this short you will find some very out of the ordinary dancing and singing (featuring Cab Calloway), a brief mention of alcohol, and no morals to end on. Enjoy!

SATURDAY SHORT: “ONE PILL” 8/29
Our second Saturday Short installment is from a fan of our site, Sean McHenry, director and editor of Deep Blue Edit. Unlike my last post, “One Pill” is much more what you’d expect a short film to be; quiet, yet profound. I believe Sean’s caption says it best:
“If One Pill could repair a broken memory…
No matter how tragic and painful…
Would you take it?”
Much more from Sean is available at his site Deep Blue Edit (look for the blue navigation box to the left.) One brief tour was all it took, and I was completely ensnared. If you like what you see, be sure to message him. He’ll be glad to know his work is well appreciated.

SATURDAY SHORT: “CROOKED (ORCUS) ROT”
“Saturday Short” (suggestions on a better title are welcome) is a new feature where we’ll be featuring a new (to us), full-length, weird short every Saturday. Shorts are selected by our new “shorts editor” Cameron Jorgensen.
This stop-motion animation by David Firth is just over a year old. David found a lot of the props he uses in this animation in his own backyard. Beware, most of his shorts are very creepy, and “Crooked (Orcus) Rot” is no exception. A lot of his work can be defined as dark humor while this would better fit under experimental. Musical score written by Marcus Fjellstrom.
