Kicking off the fest’s first shorts package, the screening was met with laughs, shock, and applause.Fright Day

It’s kind of like Groundhog Day inside a hammy McDonalds advert. That was my first explanation of Great Choice. What starts as a comedic subversion ends up taking twists and turns into the unexpected.Directors Notes

An encounter between a waiter and a middle-aged mother, out for dinner with her family at a popular seafood chain, doesn’t seem like fodder for the year’s most unsettling, aesthetically assured short, but Robin Comisar’s seven-minute long Great Choice, commissioned by the ever adventurous Miami-based production and exhibition outfit Borscht Corp., is that and more.Filmmaker Magazine
