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.

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.

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.

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.]
