Rating: 9Film festival shorts packages always require sitting through a bunch of films that range from boring to bad, but I keep going because there's invariably a gem hidden in there somewhere. Some of the best films I've ever seen have been shorts, though it takes a little work to find them. It's worth it because chances are, you'll never get a chance again outside film festivals. Jeebus willing, the internet will change this.
This year's short gem is a 14-minute Aussie film called Crossbow, about a neglected teenager. The director is David Michod. I'm keeping my eye on him. Absolutely brilliant.
