Featuring
Love at First Sight
Directed by Mark Playne, UK, 14m
A heart warming story of a lonely young man’s increasingly creative attempts to attract the attention of the girl of his dreams. A gentle film of hope and optimism.
The Last Orange Grove of Middle Florida
Directed by Carl Knickerbocker, USA, 3m
Orange grove morphs into subdivision.
The Last Gentleman
Directed by Erik Long IV, USA, 8m
The Last Gentleman tells the story of a slovenly college student who, with the guidance of his elderly neighbor, finds the courage to ask out his high school crush while learning the valor in being a gentleman.Retired Air Force World War II gunner Alan ‘Ace’ Grant, served as the inspiration for my short film. Growing up, I eagerly looked for opportunities to shovel Ace’s driveway, pull his weeds or take out his trash just so I could spend time listening to his life’s stories. Additionally (and arguably most importantly), he taught me how to behave like a true gentleman. Mr. Grant passed away last year, and this film was my catharsis and personal way to honor the life of a great man.
