Why Watch? Rob and Anna are looking to add some seasoning to their sex life, and they’ve actually been doing a good job if their need to clean the kitchen counters is any indication, but when their friend Holly comes to dinner this short film from Josh Crockett and Daniel Sinclair gets hit with Office-level dashes of uncomfortable propositioning. There are really two keys to the brilliance of Dinner With Holly. The first is the shared chemistry between its actors — Kristin Slaysman, Bob Turton and Bridget Moloney — that creates a realistic base of comfortable characters shoving well past their comfort zone while allowing for all the overwhelming emotions that naturally tag along. These are our friends and neighbors. Every decision seems rooted in figuring out what a dull suburbanite would do when faced with uncomfortable situations that are largely self-desired and self-created. They realize in the middle of their quest that letting loose has consequences beyond...

It's hard to make a movie as good as "Turkey Bowl" precisely because it looks so easy. It's just a 65 minute film told in real time about the annual football game between a bunch of old college buddies, right? Wrong. Think of all the nearly invisible elements that had to go right. The continuity in every shot has to match, from the quality and color of the lighting to the spreading sweat stains on the player's shirts. Each play had to be diagramed and executed, and re-executed from every necessary angle, and then edited together to tell the story not only of the game but of all the rivalries, friendships, and feuds playing out on its sidelines. The only reason "Turkey Bowl" looks easy is because director Kyle Smith executed it with the skill and finesse of a Pro Bowl quarterback.

Director: Kyle P. Smith Writer: Kyle P. Smith Starring: Morgan Beck, Adam Benic, Kerry Bishé, Troy Buchanan, Tom Dimenna, Zeke Hawkins, Zoe Perry, Jon Schmidt, Bob Turton, Sergio Villarreal It is the middle of the Summer and it is time for the Turkey Bowl; the winner even gets a Butterball turkey. A group of eight post-grad friends take off from their respective jobs and get together and play touch football once a year...and this year two strangers join them. There seems to be a lot of tension going on within the group. Apparently, this is one of those events that past friends get together on a yearly basis merely out of a sense of obligation and possibly to keep track of one another even after they have grown apart. They might recollect why they were once friends (if they ever were), but it is very clear that their lives have since changed.
