One Year Lease
Ahhh, renting an apartment in New York City - tiny, 'challenging' spaces coupled with enormous rents are to be expected. The most eccentric of landlords...directly above you…with an itchy speed-dial finger? - perhaps not as common. Told almost entirely through voice mail messages, "One Year Lease" documents the travails of Brian, Thomas and Casper as they endure a year-long sentence with Rita the cat-loving landlady. Sometimes the calls not coming from INside the house, BUT from the apartment upstairs, can be just as scary…or, well, just downright bizarre. 2015 Festivals Sundance Film Festival Big Sky Documentary Film Festival Beloit International Film Festival True/False Film Festival Omaha Film Festival Atlanta Film Festival Flatpack Film Festival Toas Shortz Film Fest Ashland Independent Film Festival (Winner Best Short Documentary & Audience Award Best Short Documentary) Disposable Film Festival Sarasota Film Festival South Side Film Festival Provincetown Film Festival 2014 Festivals Tribeca Film Festival - Winner, Best Documentary Short Nantucket Film Festival Outfest LA Rooftop Films Summer Series Newfest NYC Traverse City Film Festival LA Shorts Fest Milwaukee Film Festival Nevada City Film Festival Edmonton International Film Festival Doc Utah New Orleans Film Festival Camden International Film Festival Big Eddy Film Festival Chicago International Film Festival Santa Fe Film Festival Cucalorous Film Festival Starz Denver Film Festival Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival Mill Valley Film Festival 41 North Film Festival Los Cabos International Film Festival AFI Fest East Lansing Film Festival New Hampshire Film Festival The Lone Star Film Festival Calgary Underground Film Festival Winner, Summer 2014 Hammer to Nail Short Film Contest
