3. "Between the Blinds" by Daniel Brown
The film was done under the Project 21 program in which the filmmakers have 21 days to write, shoot, and edit a short. The film centered on a writer with writer's block who must deliver three plot lines or lose his job. His inspiration comes when he looks out his window. The film barely has dialogue and is an exciting visual exposee. The incredible first movement of Mendelssohn's glorious Violin Concerto accompanies the film almost to perfection.
2. "Perhaps Tomorrow" by Sandy Garfunkel
This is quite possibly the most moving short film that I have seen thus far. It relates a woman who seems to be in a state of depression. She has a hard time interacting with those around her. Garfunkel does not reveal the root cause of this woman's problems until late in the film, but drops clues throughout, maintaining the audience's connection to the story. The horrifying truth is revealed in a moving scene between two characters that are going through the same affliction. The acting is subtle throughout, but heart-felt.

1. "True to the Heart" by Mitchell Kase
A romantic comedy about a cocky musician whose career is destroyed by a review. Later on, attempting to reinvent his image, he is forced to having to work alongside the same woman who wrecked his career. It's a romantic comedy, so it's pretty clear where the story is headed. However, the trip getting there is delightful, hilarious, and truly touching. It is rare to hear those fateful words "I love you" sound so truthful at the end of a romantic comedy these days, but this film achieves that with honesty and integrity.
