The Culture Under Fire film festival delivers short but telling glimpses at the visions of filmmakers, local and national, whose work contrasts greatly with the usual multiscreen mall-theater offerings.
Writer, director and recent UMKC grad Jordan Kerfeld's four-minute short film Fingers played at the Echotrope New Media Festival in Omaha over the weekend. Last week, Kerfeld uploaded the four-minute short -- about a guy dealing with the loss of his index finger and the memories of using the finger -- to Vimeo. Watched it Sunday, and it's intense. Love how everything pops off the screen. If you haven't seen it, here it is.
