CH Supports Indie Film: Adopted
Hey, you! Hollywood-itis got you down? Can’t handle another Christmas season full of The Santa Clause 3 and its minions? Does the plight of the WGA and its members make you want to curl into a ball in the corner (or could you just not care less, as long as your shows come back soon)?
Why not check out an alternative? Say…cinema that is truly independent, unaffiliated with The Man (unless YouTube is The Man, which: debatable), and often at the cutting edge of the creative impulse? This is rough time for big-screen movies, but it’s also a great time to seek out new talent, support filmmakers operating outside the studio system, and still get your movie fix.
To start, check out filmmaker and friend-of-the-blog (or, really, friend-of-the-blogger) Timothy Sloat and his collection of short films. Want a preview before you click alllll the way over to YouTube? Here’s Tim’s latest movie, Adopted, for your viewing pleasure:
Cool, no?
(Fun fact: The score to this film was derived from a recording of a single percussion concert recording made by Tim, then manipulated digitally. Even the crowd’s applause makes it in. Can you “spot” it? I dare you.)
For more filmic brilliance, check out the afore-linked YouTube page for Tim and his production company, Fidget Films. (If you like The Office, things that are funny, and/or have ever worked for, attended, or walked by a church, you have to watch his Church Office series. In a word: HEE!)

That’s my music! Tim just stole…I mean…borrowed it from me. That’s what big brother’s do I guess. But I must say it is pretty sweet. I wish I played backwards, maybe that’s why I missed my big break!
Oh, and good short film too. (and that’s a totally unbiased comment)
