Speed Dating (11:10)
facebook; IMDb; Meghann Artes; Short of the Week; Vimeo

The people in the film are real, but many elements of their world seem to be stop-motion animated, and the people themselves move in a very stop-motion way. Which is certainly interesting, visually. Anyway, a woman (whose name, according to the credits, is Ava) goes to a speed dating event. There's no dialogue, but each of the men she meets have some very strange quirks, most of which are instant deal-breakers. The final guy... has a weird quirk of his own, but it turns out to be surprisingly positive. So... this is a cute and amusing film, definitely worth checking out. (And stick around for a cute little bonus after the credits.)
