  1. Although all of the short films sound really interesting, "Consequences" and "f*king liar" both called out to me and sound really interesting. I can't wait to see the films this week!

  2. I also think all the films sound interesting. I can't choose! I'll have to wait until I view all of them, then blog a/b which ones I felt moved me most.
