Kernel Shorts (2008)
"Kernel Shorts" is the latest batch of short films in the DIY no-budget series.
These films tend more towards minimalism and are less claustrophobic than the
"Erstaz" series. Six shorts that explore inside the heart and mind - and often
do it painfully. We look inwards to the point of harsh embarrassment as well
as project it back just as hard towards the viewer.
Minimalistic "kernels" or core ideas were purposefully developed into oblivion
in a similar way that a traditional script is realized into a drama.
They are also heavily laden with primitive graphics.
All shorts have original music.
First showing anywhere of Kernel Shorts was at:
The Rotunda
Philadelphia, PA
on November 14, 2008
