SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL GLOBAL SHORT

Last year Sundance invited six influential independent filmmakers to think big for the smallest screens. Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (Little Miss Sunshine), Jody Hill (The Foot Fist Way), Justin Lin (Better Luck Tomorrow), Maria Maggenti (Pucinni for Beginners), and Cory McAbee (The American Astronaut) took up the challenge and crafted original short films specifically for mobile phone delivery.

With the two-inch screen and international audiences front-of-mind, these filmmakers created a collection of shorts that premiered at the 3GSM Congress in Barcelona last year. A year later the films have made their way to every continent, popping up everywhere from Hong Kong to Helsinki.

From flying dogs http://www.sundance.org/globalshorts/index.asp?film=film4 to dancing cowboys, my personal favorite, http://www.sundance.org/globalshorts/index.asp?film=film5 , these five independent shorts are yours for the viewing from those good folks at Sundance. Enjoy! http://www.sundance.org/globalshorts/
