David: Influencers Documentary

I watched this about a month ago and just came across it again today and thought I'd post it on TKFV.

"Influencers" is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment. The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach. Written and directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture. "Influencers" belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.

Gray: water

If you've got 20 minutes on your hands, everyone check out this amazing short film called "water".

Short films intrigue me because of the straight challenge of sending a strong message with such little time, which is what makes a great short film stand apart from average ones. This film sends its message, uses great shots, and has amazing visual effects... deserved all the awards it was given.
