First thing out the door is a new microshort called The Stakeout. Stars the usual suspects Tim H. and Neil:

The other is a video staring Tim Racine and myself. It’s a segment from a fake cable access show called ‘Ed Rebel’s Rebel Radio Video Countdown’. Take a look at what happens when we cut to a Smoking Popes video:

We were lucky to have CanTV producer/expert Steve Niketopoulos perform all live edits and wipes which made this video extra excellent.

Hope you enjoy ‘em. Stay turned, got lots more on the way!

What’s even better: it’s an online film fest, so no need to hop on a plane. According to the site, the Portable Film Fest is:

“…an ongoing international short film festival with a difference. No cinema, no queue, no tickets. The Portable Film Festival is online, downloadable and available wherever and whenever you want to see it. We stream video online, and allow without-charge download to popular consumer media devices such as ipods, psps, or 3g mobile phones for our viewers.”

Soon you will have Futurecop beamed directly to your portable telephone, wireless computing device or beeper-phone!

I wonder what David Lynch thinks about this?

Basically Dave Thorne has an overdue account. Instead of sending money, he sends a drawing of a spider. Comedy ensues:

One tough cop…
One ruthless killer…
One shitty bathroom.

Another big thanks to Elliot for his kind words on his Geek to Me blog. Elliot is a writer for the Chicago Red Eye, and has written a second blog post on my work. He even added a little bio about me, and FutureCop 2010 (which is refers to as Timecop, but that’s ok!)
