His chronic case of writer’s block prompts his girlfriend to suggest he take a break and get inspired. A simple walk to the liquor store goes awry. He is catapulted into a bizarre series of events. Handcuffed, battered, and left with only one shoe – Jason ponders the relevance of finishing the last page. Director, Kevin Acevedo.

Founders of the festival remain enthusiastic about the prospect of continuing to cultivate film production in Arkansas and underscore the importance of the short film medium as legitimate content in its own right, in addition to being, a stepping stone for production of feature films. “It should be remembered that the Academy Awards (AMPAS) annually bestow the “Oscar” on deserving filmmakers within this category. ” says Jamie Moses, co-founder of the Little Rock Film Festival. “Each short in Sunday’s program includes material that we hope will bring entertainment value and illuminate the craft of storytelling in this form.”
