It Girl

This short film about a recently laid off woman and her ill husband is a parody on egobloggers. Amusing in its portrayal of popular it girls, but with a comical, tragic spin. Totally coolerica.

Sinécdoque (Synecdoche)

Disculpe, Caballero

This short film about a guy getting constant calls from a telemarketer is funny, but realistic, too. Quite annoying, and also rather sad.

Also one of the reasons why I prefer pay-as-you-go mobile access to postpaid plans.

Creepy Crawly

This short film features a mystery about a creepy crawly that seems to be terrorizing a town. Amidst guys with guns and deaths abound, this movie might just give you another reason to be frightened of arthropods.

Notably, there's also a version of this film with an English-speaking cast.

Viaje Temporal

This fun short film is about a guy wanting to go back in time so he can keep himself from breaking the game console right after he completed his game. Features geekiness, a messy flat, and weirdly labeled cereal boxes. Actual time travel might just happen.

Fun stuff.

Superhéroe (Superhero)

This short film about a special kind of superhero is quite sweet. It's simple, and yet the narration is full of meaning. Heartfelt and beautiful.

Presencia (Presence)

This short film about two women and a possible crime scene raises more questions than answers. Who wants to kill who? Who is the guy in the hoodie? What actually happened that night?

[Also check out Obsesión, another film by the same director, which has other women amidst other (stalkerish) crimes.]
