Two weeks from now, ‘1/30’ goes live to the world. Here’s a roundtable that got the class back together to introduce you all to the trailers for each of the short films. Part of a special group, have a special mentor, in a special moment. Enjoy!
Episode 7 of the behind the scenes making of the AT&T shorts takes you to the set of ‘Postmarked’. Angela wrote a beautiful story and Malakai is a committed director and if you watch film and television at all you’ll probably recognize an actor or two who appear in this short. Enjoy!
Episode of the ‘making of’ webseries of the AT&T Hello Lab shorts focuses on Fragile.com. Alison and Brittany have created this dark horror story that speaks to the times we live in. Enjoy!

In light of an actual review, since it’s Public Broadcasting the full doc is still available to view for a few more days. […]
Episode two of the making of the AT&T Hello Lab short films is up. My only self critique is do I really have a permanent five o clock shadow now? Anyway, enjoy!
So you know what I’ve been involved with this summer. Now, hear myself and the other mentees talk about the shorts and why we feel attached to them. Enjoy!
Me and Vishnu talking about 1/30 in our own words. Enjoy.
Free time is always a question these days, but if not next weekend, I’ll be catching this movie as soon as I’m able. Even to be much more of a John guy than a Paul guy, I have to admit I was never as crazy about this song as others. Maybe because the first version […]
