This is one of the most accomplished short films in the film festival circuit. It's a beautifully crafted, exquisitely directed, thoughtful and ballsy short film. Watching it at the Crested Butte Film Festival was one of my favorite film moments of 2014. It's, by far, one of the best films I saw last year, feature or short.

Courtney Marsh's nuanced and uncompromising film is the short film Stanley Kubrick and Steve Jobs would have directed if they had ever decided to make a movie together.

I'm so glad it's getting the attention it deserves, having been picked as Short of the Week and Vimeo Staff Picks this week.
