Love on a Thursday Afternoon

Artist Jon Saunders decided to spend his afternoon one day making a short film starring his dog.  Yes, yes, there are plenty of dog and cat videos on the internet.  But this, this one not only has a narrative, but an adorable one at that.  It's the story of a fickle lover, one who loves then destroys the relationship.

Perhaps it's a theme that will strike the heart of one of you romantics out there.  I mean, whatever, I could possibly be reading into it a little much.  Maybe.  But either way, for an attempt to make a project to occupy an afternoon, Mr. Saunders' project put a smile on my face.

Timmy Muldoon and the Search for the Shadoweyes Bandit

I don't know about you guys, but growing up making home movies was the cool thing to do as a kid. As somewhat of a challenge, we would give each other a week to create our masterpieces and proceed to show them to each other like festival of some sort. I can assure you absolutely none of them were good, but god damn were they a blast to create. Timmy Muldoon is a short that takes the idea of creating home movies and gives it a Hollywood budget. In a sense, the short shows an evolution of one's career, starting from the love for film at a young age all the way up to making blockbuster hits.

With a couple of surprising cameos, it's hard to disappointed with this charming short. It's cute, awesome, and moving all in one go.
