Exquisite Shorts, Vol. 1
Shorts (as part of Exquisite Shorts) | 2020
Role: Writer/Directors, Title Design
Segments in anthology Exquisite Shorts, derived from the drawing game “exquisite corpse.”
Each filmmaker was given two words to be spoken, shown, or both — one for the beginning of their short and one for the end. Each segment’s last word is the following segment’s first word so that the anthology flows like a stream of consciousness through many tethered minds.
These shorts were filmed in April 2020 during quarantine with whatever resources were available at home.
Snake→Cherries
A black widow’s lover reflects on his final days.
