Plus a documentary on "Helicopter" by Scot Stafford. "CULTURE" "The best sixty seconds of film at Sundance" (reel.com). One minute. One take. One culture. WINNER: Best Narrative Short (SXSW Film Festival); Audience Award (Sao Paolo International Short Film Festival); other prizes; played at over 50 festivals worldwide. "FROG CROSSING" A Chaplin-esque environmentalist love story. Co-directed by Jamie Babbit ("But I'm a Cheerleader"). WINNER: Best Short (San Antonio Underground Film Festival); over 30 festivals worldwide including Sundance, Telluride, Tokyo and Rotterdam. "LOOT" Winner of a Golden Gate Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival, a kleptomaniac's tale which "brilliantly pries into the mind of a bitter middle-aged Manhattan woman" (SF Bay Guardian). "NONSTOP PYRAMID ACTION" A "hilarious rendering of Los Angeles, like porn without the sex," with music by Ethan Gold, who later created the score for "Helicopter." Featuring Stephen Dunham and a guest performance by the amazing John Saxon. "DECISIONS" A one-minute fable made for MTV, starring a frog, a princess, and Duran Duran. "ROSA'S FOOD" A terrifying silent 8mm film starring Ethan Gold as a man who has eaten bad school cafeteria food. Okay, maybe it's not that terrifying. Ethan and Ari were 10. "INVASION OF THE FANGY-WANGLES" "Independence Day" and Jerry Bruckheimer owe a lot to this work. Ari's only mainstream Hollywood film, made for $30 on a windup super8 camera.
