Short Film Screening: FINITE
Eric Hyland – Finite
When a relationship is forced to change, how does one reconcile and come to terms with the past? Ultimately relationships, like life, simply exist, persist, and endure for a limited period of time.
Winner of Best Dramatic Short at the 2006 WorldFest? Film Festival and Finalist in the National Short Film Competition at 2006 USA Film Festival , FINITE is an avant-garde film exploring the emotions lingering from a relationship that is no longer what it once was.
Q&A with Directors Eric Hyland & Dusty Culbertson as well as SFX Coordinator and A Bunch of Short Guys’ own Charlie Johnson following screening.
