So it has been over a month since the San Diego Film Festival granted a slew of talented, hopeful directors a stage for their art. This year focus felt more in tune with the current climate and brought forth human conditions, both comedic and serious, for the audience’s delight.
5 of the entries still stand out for me amongst the 68 plus entries; either for my hope that they will be expanded on or simply because their short screen time seemed concisely perfect with their storyline. Noted: I did not have the pleasure of watching every short film, but of the 40 or so I did get to watch, these are my choices.
