America's most intoxicating blend of short cinema

A Taste of the 2019 Crush

 
16-year-old @rican.amor made her film debut in @hannahloganpeterson’s lyrical life-slice, @eastoftheriverfilm. So convincing and engaging is her school-skipping turn that she won @themoviecrush’s 2019 Best Performance Award as determined by the jury comprised of #DaleDickey @piperperabo @camilliamonet @sirtumez and @shawncaulinyoung #crushingit #astarisborn #femalefilmmakerfriday #shortfilm #filmfestival

Beloved singer/songwriter @mariancallmusic has written many wonderful originals. One of our favorites is a Bowie reimagining and shot-for-shot remake of Space Oddity, rewriting the lyrics using only the 1,000 most common word in the English language. Today’s Vintage Crush takes us back to 2017. Watch here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ygrdAvmr-MA #vintagecrush #davidbowie #crushingit #musicvideo #shortoddity

We pride ourselves on everything you see at @themoviecrush inside the @powerhousetheatre. The views outside ain’t bad either. #crushingit #onthegrid #offthehook #shortfilms #filmfestival

This year’s Curator’s Choice Award went to Jon Bloch for his heart-wrenching @waitinggamefilm. Boasting terrific performances from #BruceMcGill and @john_patrickamedori , the third star of the film is Bloch’s honest, unvarnished storytelling. Thanks to @steve__korn who captured Jon for @themoviecrush portrait gallery. #malemoviemakermondays #crushingit #shortfilm #awardwinner #moreplease

@manateerae is already a delightful, dynamic, charming, captivating star of the screen. To see her is to be wowed by her. @themoviecrush has been blessed by her performances in shorts the past two years — in @ohpetelee ‘s DON’T BE A HERO and @linzsnaps AUTHENTIC PERSONALITIES. We’re hoping she returns in 2020 with a short she has written and directed herself and not only because it’s #femalefilmmakerfriday but because she’s a natural, gifted storyteller. Kudos to @steve__korn for capturing this moment with the future director at this year’s Movie Crush. Great photo of a terrific talent.

We take great pride in the juries we assemble for @themoviecrush. Two years ago, @signebaumane served as a juror for the. Eat Animated Short category. Today, she celebrates her birthday. And, we hope she is as happy as this photo suggests. #crushingit #soanimated #birthdaywishes #shortfilm #jurisprudence

Managing Director @ranielpants always keeps @themoviecrush on track and tends to our moviemakers in almost superheroic fashion. What should we name her alter ego? #capedcrushader #crushingit #wallawalla #shortfilms #filmfestival #appleofoureyes #superhero

Unforgettable highlight of @themoviecrush 2019: our screening of @thisbeinghumanfilm. DIrector @aimievallat profiled Hameed whose journey from Iraq to American citizen is both heartbreaking and inspiring. The two took the stage for a celebratory q&a and a standing ovation. Three cheers! #crushingit #wallawalla #shortfilm #shortdoc #citizenship #filmfestival

Did @carlosgarsizzle create the year’s most flawless short? I’d argue SUBWAY is a moviemaker’s vision perfectly realized and a tribute to true New Yorkers’ inherent romanticism. #nevermovetoconnecticut #crushing it #shortfilm #filmfestival #wallawalla
