HollyShorts’ 18th Edition Proves Animation is the Future with Shorts Featuring Colman Domingo, Brian Cox, and More
Skwigly
The Oscar®-Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival is, once again, proving animation is the future when it comes to entertainment. The 18th edition, happening from August 11-20, 2022 at TCL Chinese 6 Theatres, unveiled its diverse selection of animated short films, including Emmy Nominee Colman Domingo’s New Moon.
New Moon, written by and starring Colman Domingo, follows an imaginative surrealist journey of
a young boy and his mother chasing their inner city dreams. Adapted from his one-man play, “A Boy And His Soul,” this short also gives insight into Domingo’s upbringing, serving as a “love letter to West Philly and Black mothers and sons.” Other stellar standouts include Aaron Hughes’s Five Cents, starring Emmy Award-winner Brian Cox (Succession); Ninety-five Senses, directed by Jerusha Hess (Austenland, Napoleon Dynamite, Don Verdean) and Jared Hess (Minecraft, Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre), written by Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer (Minecraft, Masterminds, Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life), featuring Tim Blake Nelson (Nightmare Alley, Watchmen, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs); Joseph Pierce’s Scale (Cannes Selection 2022); The Castro Sisters, Domenica and Constanza Castro’s We Are Here (Sundance Selection 2022); as well as Lukas von Berg’s Saint Android (Cannes Cinéfondation 2021), among others.
