Except I’m 29!

Morgan Dusatko, 20, is a Seattle videographer who made a film about a day in the life of a human in a hot-dog suit.

There is something about a costume, Dusatko says. He has also filmed a man who became a roadside attraction by dressing in a rabbit suit to advertise an Airport Way roofing company.

In the roles people play every day, humans all wear various disguises, Dusatko said. “A hot-dog suit just makes it obvious.”

Dear Brad Hutchinson,

 

Thank you for submitting The Hot Dog Cycle to the 2009 CFC Worldwide Short Film

Festival. This year we received a record number of over 3900 submissions.

With a limited number of slots available, our programming decisions were exceptionally challenging and we were only able to select a fraction of the number of marvelous films sent to us for consideration. Unfortunately we were unable to programme your work; however we are pleased to say that the WSFF is committed to the promotion of every film submitted to us through our Digital Marketplace.

 

Every short film submitted will be available in the Festival Marketplace through our Digital Marketplace Library, accessible to industry delegates including buyers, distributors, and festival programmers looking for all manner of films. Your contact information will be published in our Marketplace Catalogue, provided to all festival delegates. Last year over 400 shorts were picked up for broadcast or distribution as a result of being included in the Marketplace, and the Festival responds to inquiries year-round by festival programmers, buyers and distributors about Marketplace films.

 

We invite all filmmakers to attend the festival and participate in the Marketplace, if you wish to apply to attend as a Marketplace Delegate please visit our website:

This year the festival will run from June 16-21 2009 in Toronto and will feature 12 programmes of competitive screenings, and special screenings including the perennially popular Midnight Mania, Sci-Fi Shorts, Slap ‘n’ Tickle and Celebrity Shorts.  The festival also hosts a Symposium on the art and commerce of short filmmaking, and the Festival Business Centre.

 

We thank you for your interest in the CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival and encourage you to continue sending us your work in the future.

 

 Best regards,
