CARGO: short film

One of the most compelling films in a while, CARGO was a finalist in an Australian film festival and does what I think the best zombie tales do: present a small slice, one of the billions of stories that might occur in the wake of disaster, steeped in humanity. Clever, with a growing sense of urgency and anxiety. Tissue alert for those of delicate emotional constitution. ;)

CARGO: Stranded in the midst of the zombie apocalypse, a man puts into motion an unlikely plan to protect the precious cargo he carries--his infant daughter.




 

The Maker: Short Animated Film

The Maker:

A very short film that has won numerous awards, The Maker is haunting, beautiful, and slightly heartrending. And no, you do not know where it is going. Exactly.

Now if you'll excuse me, this is a Sunday for leftover turkey soup in the crock pot (yay!), staying in pj's, and an extended-version LotR marathon. And then maybe some Wii Sports. Because everything else today will turn me into a candidate for soup.
