Shorts Competition Program 1: Hit the Ground Laughing

Running time: N/A

Every year, Cinequest mixes the best comedic shorts from around the world for a batch that is as wide and wild as you?ll ever find. Only here will zombies try to fight for acceptance and guys make videos to send to friends? wakes. Odd interruptions and unusual trips to the gynecologist mash up next to bizarre confrontations between man and robot as well as between actor and coach. Films in the program include a performance by Sandra Oh and several returning filmmakers from Cinequest past. Be sure to keep your wits about you, as some are as brutal as they are uproarious and may well leave you gasping for breath from laughter.
