Flash Your Shorts is taking a break

Hey Flashers,

This last year and a half that I've been running FYS has been a lot of fun for me, I've met a lot of very talented and amazing filmmakers whom I know I'll have great friendships with. But it is with a heavy heart that I have to step away from this project for a while.

I don't know when I'll be coming back to it, but please head over to our facebook fan page and continue to post your films on there. I will help you promote on Facebook a bit, but I won't be updating this site.

Thanks for all your support and effort to keep Flash Your Shorts a success for the past year and a half!

Much Love!

FYS - June 22nd 2010

Hey Flashers!

Welcome back to another week of Flash Your Shorts!

My deepest apologies for not posting last week. I was on a freelance gig that, while so much fun, ate up my entire week.

Our WEB SERIES SUMMER has gotten a lot of love, and will only go up from here. I've got a great line up of shows for you to watch this summer, and some great interviews from the awesome folks at Makin' It Happen (new video featured below).

This week we are featuring the first three episodes of SAVING RENT! "Saving Rent" is a comedy about six unlikely roommates in Los Angeles who share a house in order to save rent. The house belongs to Mike, who bought the house when he moved out to LA with his musician girlfriend, Kelley. However, when Mike gets laid off, he convinces Kelley to get roommates to move in to help pay the mortgage.

If you would like to see more SAVING RENT (which there are a total of 12 episodes), check out the link at the bottom of this post.

And if you have a web series that you'd like to submit for our Web Series Summer, we still have some open slots, and are looking to fill them. Please email me your show's information at FlashYourShorts@Gmail.com.

See you guys next Monday!

Title:
Saving Rent

Saving Rent - Episode 1 - Roommate Wanted
Mike and Kelley are at their new house, to which they've recently moved from Boston. Mike convinces Kelley they need to find roommates to help pay for the mortgage due to the bad economy. Little does Kelley know that the real reason is Mike has lost his job and can't afford the mortgage himself. Meanwhile, Mike befriends Chucho, an illegal immigrant, while passing his days at the beach pretending to be at work. The couple eventually find four roommates to fill their house. And the adventure begins...

Saving Rent - Episode 2 - Finding a Job
We are introduced to the new roommates as they set out to find jobs. Paul, an actor, has a commercial audition. Tina, also an actor, has an audition herself, but this one is for an adult film. And Suzie, a sixteen year old runaway from Orange County, seeks a job at a diner. Chucho is the only one with a steady job, cleaning at a bar overnight and making a little extra cash by secretly selling the booze to his friends at work.

Saving Rent - Episode 3 - Finding the Culprit
The episode opens with a house meeting. Mike is very disturbed by someone's inability to flush the toilet. We are then introduced to Kelley's side job--doing promos for food. Meanwhile, Mike tries to find a job for himself and must resort to dogwalking. The episode ends with Kelley confronting Mike about the situation they've gotten themselves into.

That being said, we are still taking submissions for short films, documentaries, music videos, and experimental films for when we return to our original programming in September. Just email me at FlashYourShorts@gmail.com for consideration.
