I recently had my short film "Now or Never" premiere at SXSW 2010. It got a great response at all three festival screenings.*

Let me know what you think.*

Sweet.
Actually kinda smart, in a creepy sweet way.
Hope to one day check that fest. out.
It 's pretty neat how this site allows us to check out so many well conceived pieces as well as learn about the tools that help bring someone's idea to life.
How does the SxSW film selection process work?

Thanks guys I shot this for no money, shot it in a day using local Austin actors.

This short proves that even if you half way know what you're doing, but start off with a good script, it's almost impossible to screw it up.

It played great at SXSW all three screenings got big laughs. SXSW Film is growing stronger every year this year there were over 2000 shorts submitted this year and from that they could only choose a handful.

Aaron,

That was fun I laughed out loud for most of the first half. The gum in the tunnel was great. You caught me with the twins at the end I was expecting something else.

Well done.
