chrysler film festival

Doug Liman and Dave Bartis of Hypnotic Films called me asking for a concept for 6-8 short interstitial films that could run in during the Cannes event featuring the Chrysler-Hypnotic Million Dollar Film Festival student finalists. Oh, and it would be nice if some Chrysler cars could be in them somewhere.

That's it. That was the brief.

The result is "Indie is Great," a paean to the joys of low-budget film production. I conceived it on Sunday, had it approved on Monday. We cast, shot, and had the films in the can by Friday.

[Apologies for the terrible film quality. Though it does kind of give it an air of authenticity...]
