When I found out the L.A. Short Film Festival was happening this week, I combed the schedule hoping to see that Stephen Hamel's Echo would be in the mix. Unfortunately, I didn't see it in the listings. I did find this though, playing Friday, September 10, 1:15pm @ Theater 8-

Some of the other short films look interesting as well.

Whether you're in the mood for Comedy, Drama, something Animated or a Documentary there's plenty of cinematic goodness going on.
And the best thing about a short film is if it sucks, it'll be over soon.

Posted by: shelz on September 8, 2004 04:45 PMDidn't Michael Jackson do something called Captain Eno once? Something at Disney World? It is vagaries such as this that are taking up precious space in my wee brain.
Posted by: Chianti on September 8, 2004 05:24 PMerm, that would be Captain EO, Chianti.
gawd, I love google...
Posted by: Nudel on September 8, 2004 08:44 PMOK, that didn't work. Try to be smart...something I should never do. Try this:
Posted by: Nudel on September 8, 2004 08:46 PMsometimes, ya know, this stuff just goes over my head!!!
"Guards pop up from behind the heaps of metal and surround the crew...Outnumbered and nowhere to go, EO and the crew surrender and are led to the Supreme Leader's dark, grungy lair."
...sounds like a winner to me!
Posted by: shelz on September 9, 2004 07:46 AMFrankly I'm kind of glad I didn't get that exactly right.
Lookly forward to Echo, whenever and wherever it turns up.
Posted by: Chianti on September 9, 2004 01:52 PMI remember going to see Captain Eo at Epcot when I was little.
*shudders* He scared me even back then.
