Look Both Ways tops Metro New York’s list of most “noteworthy” short films to see at Tribeca this year:

In an era of nine-minute YouTube segments, one would think that short films would be more popular than ever. You’d be wrong. The cinematic quickie still has no outlet like the film festival. This year, the Tribeca Film Festival divides its shorts into 14 different programs according to themes, from the child-friendly Short Attention Span series to the Family Legacy group, which examines the idea of “home.” Here are a few of the most noteworthy films.

- In “Look Both Ways,” from the Short Attention Span series, a suburban hamlet of preteen computer-screen addicts undergoes a “Lord of the Flies”-like transformation when a power outage forces the kids to do the unthinkable: enjoy a gorgeous day outdoors.

A complete list of the Metro’s short film recommendations can be found in the article “Quick flicks to check out at the Tribeca Film Festival.” Many thanks to Drew Hinshaw for the mention!

We’re proud to announce that Look Both Ways was awarded a Gold Remi award last week at the 2007 Worldfest International Film Festival.

While we weren’t able to go we were told the screenings of the film were really well received, and we’re proud of the entire cast and crew for creating such a great film.

From Daniel…

NYC! The Tribeca Film Festival! Such a great place to screen a film. New Yorkers love films and New York loves filmmakers. Its been a ride and we’re only in the middle. Its such an honor to be part of this international event. Our first two screenings have been full and the audience really enjoyed ‘Look both Ways’ as well as the other great films in our program.

Julian Smithers (Jimmy) came down with his mom, Sherry for the opening screening. Holly Rowe (Susie) will be in town on the 4th and 5th for our next screenings. The festival has been great to us and there are some really talented filmmakers in town for the festival. We have three more screenings before we have to say goodbye to NYC–so stay tuned!
