Shorts Program 8: Flicks on 66

Running time: N/A

Shorts Program 8 - Flicks on 66. Six scripts, six days, and six emerging filmmakers are what it takes to make the Flicks on 66 Wild West Digital Shootout the first moviemaking competition of its kind, and this behind-the-scenes documentary takes an insider peek at how it's all done. See the most promising new directors ride in on Route 66 and work their magic in Albuquerque, New Mexico when they are given only six days to make their movies. See the short movies that brilliantly rise up and out of the dust-cloud of chaos that only such an insane time constraint could create. Shibubu, the Zen-like tale of one of the world's most absurd assassins; Crazy Like the Taz, a mockumentary depicting one lost soul's obsession with the Tasmanian Devil; and Ride, two cowboys' version of a philosophical round-table are just a few of the Flicks on 66 winners that have audiences marveling at what six days and a little moviemaking-madness can create. Presented by: Michelle DuVal, Grubb Graebner, and Christopher Coppola
