Recall for a moment 2003′s Tarnation, the micro-indie sensation produced by John Cameron Mitchell and Gus Van Sant, and directed by Jonathan Caouette by assembling all of his own personal media, from answering machine tapes, to Polaroid snaps to camcorder video, into a narrative feature which was part documentary, part drama, part horror film. I remember at the packed to the gills screening during the Toronto International film Festival (where someone offered to buy my ticked for $300!) the director saying that he really wanted to make horror films, if the success of Tarnation provides him with the means. Well, he hasn’t made a feature yet, but he’s cut his teeth doing a short film, and he has indie-wonderkind actress Chloe Sevigny in the lead. The film is 14 minutes long and has played a couple festivals, but here is the creepy trailer that makes the most of snappy editing and minimal special effects. Somewhere between Kubrick’s The Shining and Lynch’s Mulholland Dr.
The company putting this short film out is The Phi Group who are responsible for truly astounding short films such as Next Floor and Danse Macabre, and if All Flowers in Time is as good as those, lets just hope for a compilation DVD sometime in the near future.
The trailer is tucked under the seat.

Excellent call on the shorts compilations disc. I’d drop money on that sucker no problem. I’m still haunted by the images from Danse Macabre.
