BEER HUNTER
By Wesley Martin, Little Rock AR. Cinematography by J.R. & A. Prieur; intro music by DJ JIMM. (2005, 9 min.)
‘Beer Hunter’ is hunting drunkenness one hominid at a time. Part one in a series of three ‘Beer Hunter’ sketches, all impromptu, random, and improvised. None of the hominids captured in the wild on this film were known at the time of taping.

TWITCH
Written and directed by Leah Meyerhoff, New York NY. (2005, 10 min.)
“TWITCH tells the poignant story of a young girl torn between two worlds: her domestic life where she must care for her wheelchair-bound mother and her escape into the emerging world of sexuality with her eager, hormone-addled boyfriend. The director’s own mother, a victim of MS, plays the mother with a stark reality that is haunting to watch, and Emma Galvin, who plays the daughter, captures the girl’s struggles with an understated command that belies the hidden turmoil of adolescent angst that tortures her character.”
-Patricia Freeman, Independent Film
