res-april

it's like my internet here has to 'warm up' in the morning. at first, nothing's loading up and very few sites are visible, but then...boom! we're up and running and faster than ever. a decidedly old-school form of service quality.

SO last night was the latest res screening at the Royal, which featured a number of cool shorts and videos from canada and the world over.

of particular note was Mark Mainguy's Pizza Shop, Ghostmilk's Small Pulse, a couple of shorts from Napoleon Dynamite's Jared Hess (including a great Postal Service video), and a very cool lo-fi clip for Lemon Jelly's The Shouty Track.

Also featured was James Wilkes' Auto Destruct: One Man's Obsession With William Shatner. Though a promising mockumentary, the film frankly ran much, much longer than necessary and diluted the concept.

also met some cool editors and directors afterwards, which was great to hear about various new projects in the works in the city. rah!
