The sad thing about this week’s short film, “Playfish,” is its director and photographer are graduates of the film and video program that SCCC killed this June. Watch and weep.

Weep not for the director, Jilian Suleski, or the director of photography, Mark Eugene Rogerโ€”they graduated. The sad thing is the killed program didn’t cost a lot of money and yet gave people the tools to make quality films like “Playfish.”

Have a short film? Feel free to mail it to charles@thetranger.com

Charles Mudede—who writes about film, books, music, and his life in Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, the USA, and the UK for The Stranger—was born near a steel plant in Kwe Kwe, Zimbabwe. He has no memory...

  1. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Far more than last week’s entry (and somewhat shamefully did so via whatever version of IE came installed on my crappy laptop, FWTW.)

  2. Playfish is such a good short — I saw it at Local Sightings last month. I’m also a SCCC film & video grad whose heart broke a little bit when I heard the news of the program closure. I’m getting a facebook page started to try to save the film & video program, please like it if you can: http://tinyurl.com/8yhnqrq
