Sundance Film Festival is happening right now and as one of the best film festivals in the world it often premieres the best films of the year to come. Shorts are a big part of the festival and last year’s Sundance Shorts are available on I-Tunes.
Shorts are becoming ever more popular and in Miami we have a local film company Gold Dickenson Productions won the Orlando Film Festival’s short film category. You can view the trailer here. Pencil Fighting: The Life and Times of Team Balderdash was filmed entirely in Miami. While it is evident that these local film makers are fans of Wes Anderson’s work, it will be good to see how they evolve as they find their signature style.
For film fans Miami is offering more choices. Just this week:
-
Miami Jewish Film Festival runs through Sunday, January 27th includes Young Filmmakers Institute

It’s Monday and if you haven’t noticed the increase in traffic you will soon as the academic year is upon us. As another school year starts I always get the urge to purchase school supplies a la Tom Hanks in You’ve Got Mail. One great thing about growing up and going to school in Miami is that you can enjoy playing outside all year round.
Speaking of playing outside
There is a new spot the UpperEast Side Garden this is one of those spots that deserves discovering. Each week the garden screens movies and it also houses a mini golf course. This is the ideal spot for a gathering with friends especially if you’re looking for something outside the usual but very much having a Miami feel.
Another spot with a quintesentially Miami feel will be Karu&Y this Wednesday August 22 as it serves host to one of Miami’s favorite fashion labels Krelwear who will be helping Miami Fashion Weekly celebrate as the magazine goes gloss.
