#53. Sassy Pants - Coley Sohn We could have a festival loaded with these kinds of examples...here is one more case of a Sundance accepted short Boutonniere (2009) that got turned into a feature length film. Entitled Sassy Pants, with a backdrop of the prom and the pain associated with it, if programmed Coley Sohn's coming-of-ager comedy will most certainly grab a Premieres category slot and be a prime candidate for Queer Lounge Award and in the same token would be a platform for actress Ashley Rickards to shine. Gist: The short's synopsis is...a simple teenage girl attempts to survive her overbearing mother's exuberant plans for a prom she’d rather not attend. Producers: Pavlina Hatoupis and Adam Wilkins(Ioncinema.com Preview Page // IMDb Link)...

There's yet another film festival for cinema junkies to delight in, and this time it's all about much-needed laughs. Next month (March 5-8) will mark the inaugural L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival, and The Hollywood Reporter posts that it will include shorts from our favorite Internet Funny House, Funny or Die. See? The Internet is taking over!
The website will show some world premieres at the fest, plus "exclusive vintage shorts" that include Don Dolmes, The Smallest C*ck in Porn and Craigslist Penis Photographer. There are lots of shorts they could choose from. We've even shown you a bunch of them here at Cinematical. But I can't say that I'd be delighted to sit in a dark theater and watch these particular shorts (check them out after the jump). They're actually my least favorite of all the shorts I've seen on the site... Luckily I can throw on...
