There is nothing remotely PC about "CARMICHAEL & shane," a mordantly
funny short film by Rob Carlton and Alex Weinress. In an age of
hyper-parenting that has given us "hot-house" children and "helicopter"
parents, Carlton, who wrote and stars in the six-minute faux documentary
with his two-year-old twin sons, proposes with relentless deadpan logic
his novel solution to raising a successful child--"Choose a favorite."
That this radically un-PC message won the film first place at Sony
Tropfest 2006 in Australia--the world's largest short film festival--and
strong reviews at three major festivals (Telluride, Tribeca, Seattle)
confirms both the marksmanship of the directors and the relevance of the
target.
"The response we got from 'CARMICHAEL & shane' tells me you guys over
there are just as twisted as we are here," says Carlton, a well-known
Australian actor and filmmaker.
There was nothing remotely PC either about the film's all-Mac,
just-in-time workflow. "We made it for $20," says Carlton. "We shot it
in four hours. We edited it in three days." Watch the short film online
now.
