This past weekend, I attended a portion of the Avon's Oscar®-Nominated Film Festival.
Caught a showing of The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (2011), a 15 minute animated short. Certainly worth a watch. I like watching the "shorts" since I have a short attention span most of the time. The "shorts" are a mix of nominated short films, 7 -15 minute or so in length. Hate to confess it, but I arrived late, and missed the first short. All were quite entertaining, and rightfully nominated. (all the shorts are online at shorts.tv/theoscars.com) You be the judge....
Afterwards, went around the corner for a leisurely brunch at Volta. Super crowded, and lucky to get a seat. Open face egg and bacon sandwich, with a side of wild mushroom soup. Choco gelato to finish. All good. All worth the trip. It was a cold Saturday, and worth venturing out.
