COLLISION A Short Film by Alexis OstranderCOLLISION

Director: Alexis Ostrander
Cast:  Tiffany Giddes, Teal Sherer

Paralyzed after a near-fatal car accident, Jessica discovers that her rehab training is part of a plan to mold her into a lethal assassin.

A special “work in progress” sneak peek for the cast and crew of COLLISION – the labor of love of actress/activist Tiffany Giddes. Tiffany’s mission is to change the types of roles she gets called in on and how producers/casting directors/filmmakers think of Actors with Disabilities.  She brought together screenwriter Katherine Beattie and Alexis Ostrander, the director of the new feature doc Defining Beauty: Ms. Wheelchair America, to create these action-packed Chick Assassin on Wheels characters.

 

THE AERIAL GIRL

THE AERIAL GIRL

Director: Anna Simone Scott
Cast:  Sarah De La Isla, Joel Stoffer

Urban cool teen Taylor’s life is uprooted when her father dies and she moves to her grandfather’s ranch in Wyoming with her mother. There she meets a ranch hand who turns her life upside down.

Longtime HOLLYWOOD SHORTS members Anna Simone Scott and producer Peter Sands (the filmmaking team at Vision Fire Films) teamed up with screenwriter Terri Sissman to create this touching drama.

One of the biggest sensations of the 2010/2011 festival season!   Martin & Stefan have a young animation company aptly named Dancing Squirrel in Ausburg, Germany. The overwhelming success of this gorgeous animated short created worldwide visibility for these young storytellers.
