To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Strand Releasing asked a number of directors create a short film on their iPhones. The result is a collection of 35 films ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Anthology movies almost as a rule are inconsistent and this one is certainly no exception and the films featured here are hampered by the time limitation. But that limitation is also a boon because if there is any film you don't like, you just have to wait a minute or two for the next one. The styles of these 35 films are all over the place. Most are experimental. Only 2 directors attempted straightforward narratives. Some are essays on the nature of film and some are just directors playing with special effects. Best in show has to go to Tommy O'Haver for his song celebrating gay directors. Worth watching if you have an hour to spare.
