Introducing Joost's Own Film Geek
I'm JR, Joost's resident film geek and the guy behind The Best of Joost Short Films. I'm not into indie snobbery or celebrity obsessions. I'm just addicted to watching as many Joost films as possible and serving up the best, most unexpected collections for you to check out...
First up, I'd like to present 11 of the funniest, wackiest shorts on Joost - it's the Best of Joost Comedy Shorts. Spam-Ku is directed by up-and-comer Steven Tsuchida and has been featured at top festivals around the world from SXSW to Raindance. It's about a hapless young hero who wins an unparalleled, transformative prize in a haiku contest - a lifetime supply of Spam! The short is nicely shot and has a really likable, quirky quality that I think you'll appreciate. Other highlights include a priceless cartoon spoof of Russell Crowe, a silly caricature of the branding business by Andy Dick, and the unabashed, off-beat internal monologues of Lev's Tales of Mere Existence.
I like these shorts because of their cutting observations of human behavior and their unrelenting parody of the everyday norm. From dry Brit wit to Spam-inspired poetry to a fake commercial for Toxic Toys, this collection is guaranteed to make you smile...
Friend me when you get a chance and keep me posted on what you like!
