The Queen Bee of Mushroomtown

Short, good, crisp, and like I said, wacky but tells a story and makes sense. The acting is excellent throughout. The film was made for the 24-hour film racing contest, and if I'm remembering correctly it won the New York Film Race in 2009, as well as gathering a bunch of subset awards (Best Cinematography, Best Leading Actor, I think there were some others as well). For the film race a theme and an action (which must be included) are given when the time begins, so it cannot be written (or filmed, naturally) beforehand. A very cool format, and in this case it makes for a great collaboration (as you might imagine, sometimes it just makes for a big mess). Can't imagine you could do much more in a four-minute film.
