\nShawn Christensen, Fatima Ptacek, in “Curfew”<\/i><\/p>\n

I called it. <\/p>\n

Curfew<\/i>, 19 minutes long, which I saw at the Tribeca Film Festival this past year, is a masterpiece. Here is my review<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Curfew<\/i> is nominated for an Academy Award<\/a> this year in the Best Live Action Short category. Directed by Shawn Christensen (as well as written by, and starring), Curfew<\/i> is a whimsical piece of condensed poetry and pain, a love letter to New York City and New York movies, entertaining, gorgeously shot, with a sucker-punch of an ending. I loved every second of it, and am so pleased to see it racking up awards on the festival circuit, culminating in an Oscar nom. For a short moment there, I was the only person who reviewed it. <\/p>\n

Here is the interview I did with Christensen about his film<\/a>. <\/p>\n
