OPAL Movie Night: SHORT-CUTERIE

From sold-out shows in Eugene comes SHORTCUTERIE, a night of wild short films snatched from national (and international!) film fests, emphasizing up-and-coming, off-the-wall auteurs. Turtlenecked local filmmakers Michael Angier and Rince Turrell II Jr. serve up the films in five enticing categories.

This platter of cinematic "small bites" contains a little something for everybody-- ponderous thinkers, fluffy trifles, some with acid undertones, some more earthy, all meant to whet your appetite for DIY creation in your own creative endeavors.

About your esteemed hosts;

Michael Angier runs the Eugene-based film studio Palisade Plain Films with his wife Jo, and is currently in the final stages of completing his next filmic endeavour, The Sword & the Sea. He enjoys photography, walking with his two spicy dogs, and penetrating silences.

Rince Turrell II Jr., like the mythic groundhog, marvels at the interplay of light and shadow. When he's not contemplating his collection of cave art illegally chipped from Eurasian crevasses, you can find him coaxing sound and vision into Forms that certain cretins of the modern age might term "funny videos."
