A new festival came across my rader today: the National Screen Institute (NSI) Online Short Film Festival. Check it out here.

With nothing to lose but a few dollars' postage, I fired off entries for Parallels and Grover's Mill. It felt strange digging out my film school shorts and re-working their dusty press kits. I'm at once grateful that a festival will accept 2-year-old work, and irritated that I've failed to produce anything bigger or better since returning to Nova Scotia.

There's something unsettling about hawking my student films as they approach their expiration dates. I take some comfort knowing they'll soon retire permanently. It's time I focused my attention on my next film.
