LA Times | SHOWBIZ 7s: Why do people make short films?

by indieWIRE (March 28, 2007)

Short films aren’t inherently bad, but to the American public they are inherently uninteresting. It’s a conundrum that in this time of nationwide ADD we are still more likely to watch a three and a half hour movie rather than a three-minute short. The Internet is beginning to change that, but so far, grainy YouTube videos still do better than well-produced short films. But that hasn’t stopped Los Angeles based comedian Chris Mancini from making more than 90 minutes of comedic shorts over the past decade—and asking famous-ish friends like Patton Oswalt and Paul F. Tompkins to star in them. Deborah Netburn reports.

Stella Artois Taste Profile

A sophisticated European pils with a brewing tradition dating back to 1366, Stella Artois has a pleasantly bitter flavor and refreshing finish for superior drinkability that stands out from other European lagers. Stella Artois is brewed using only the finest natural ingredients, including water, barley malt, hops, non-malted grains and a unique yeast strain that has been a much-cherished secret for hundreds of years.
