Running time: N/A

Our Local Shorts Series is comprised of nine films. When the death of a family pet sparks a father's memories of his son in Kurt Kuenne's REMEMBRANCES, he is forced to re-evaluate some painful truths about the past. In Eli Despres' LOCAL MECHANIC WINS MILLIONS, a simple mechanic is having trouble dealing with his newfound wealth. Mark Becker's A STRANGER FIXATION is a documentary that examines people's attitudes towards people they don't know. In Sacha Parisot's film, FLUF is a cute and cuddly little cat...and possibly a demon straight from hell! . In Robert Strauss' FORTUNE TELL, a couple on a first date finish up their Chinese dinner. Things are going great until the check arrives...with the fortune cookies. Kim Roberts' documentary CLASS STRUGGLE IN PALO ALTO compares the two predominant classes of people who populate the city. Can Jack the Ripper find redemption? Greg Voevodsky's DANGEROUS TOYS seeks to answer that as we spend an evening with London's most notorious killer. Etang Inyang's SISTER INSIDE is a film dealing with incest. Sean Cooney's EITHER WAY YOU LOSE tells the a twisted tale of a wager, a wife, wine and white powder. In the end we find that when you mess with the wrong person..."either way you lose!" -- Matt Aquino
