It's no small potatoes to get Tituss Burgess, Catherine Tate, andJonathan Cake for one's short film, but that's precisely the cast Nick Frew attracted for his deliciously dark comedy, PERFECT ROAST POTATOES, which you can now watch online (https://vimeo.com/877320682)! PRP screened at the inaugural Movie Crush in 2017 *and* it's the perfect way to celebrate National Potato Day.

@augustenburroughs made it clear: “When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.” And when you don't have access to health care, you're absolutely f**ked. While the current administration whittles away access, particularly in rural areas, given it's National Doctors Day, we thought we'd celebrate the success of a long-standing governmental program — established by Richard M Nixon! — that provides hope and help in what might otherwise become medical deserts. DOC ALBANY, directed by Oscar®-winner @bgproudfoot, screened at The Crush just this past summer and now you can watch it online. Link in bio.
Today, apparently, is National Joe Day. Honestly, we're not even sure what this means or entails. Are there holiday cards? (On your marks, get set, Joe!) Day-specific greetings? (Yo, Jo!) Special food or drink to serve? (A cuppa Joe?) Holiday-adjacen
Today, apparently, is National Joe Day. Honestly, we're not even sure what this means or entails. Are there holiday cards? (On your marks, get set, Joe!) Day-specific greetings? (Yo, Jo!) Special food or drink to serve? (A cuppa Joe?) Holiday-adjacent movies? (Now I have a machine gun. Joe-Joe-Joe.) Whatever the answers, one truth is @joegillette is the CrushFam member we choose to celebrate today as this past summer he became the first/only triple crown winner at The Crush. His brilliant, heartfelt short, THE MUSIC STORE, won Best Narrative, Best Screenplay and our prestigious Iron Ass Award, the audience favorite selected by the Iron Ass jury, comprised of those who watched every single movie over the three-day weekend! So, here's to you, Joe! May today provide everything you so richly deserve. #crushfam4eva❤️ #wwmc10 #wallawallahollaholla #shortfilm #filmfestival

Josh Seftel is #crushfam4eva❤️ and we’ve always known he’s a winner — even before his Oscar triumph Sunday night for @alltheemptyrooms. @jrseftel has screened many shorts at @themoviecrush and won our Best Documentary prize a few years ago for the Oscar-nominated @strangeratthegate and having received our prestigious Iron Ass (Audience) Award in our very first year for ZAIN’S SUMMER. In between, we also been honored to share multiple episodes of The Secret Lives of Muslims series and an installment of his series of conversations with his mother. Congrats, Josh! You deserve the gold for both your filmmaking and your noble effort to sway audiences to see gun violence through a different, more compassionate lens. Submit your short today via @filmfreeway and maybe you’ll be the next member of our Crush Fam to win an Academy Award! #wallawallahollaholla #shortfilm #shortdocumentary #filmfestival
