We caught a great series of short films tonight at the Museum of Fine Arts. The Asbury Shorts of New York group tours films every so often and this was the first gig in Boston.

The time ranged from ninety seconds to 18 minutes and included three by Jason Reitman, recently Oscar-nominated for Juno (though I liked Thank You for Smoking better, perhaps thanks to its contrarian style). Mr. Reitman became known through his short films, a common "resume" for filmmakers. If the program comes to your town (or you head to NYC), they're definitely worth a look.
The next 48-hour film project looms and though the team situation is unsettled, the producers and I have hatched a few story and shooting ideas. I hope we don't steal anything too obviously from the ones shown tonight!
