Obsession is the theme of this installment of the monthly short-film series put on by the Indiespace web [site] to promote itself and its filmmakers. . . . [M]ost of the shorts aim for emotional darkness. . . . Of the five-film program, two are faux documentaries: Tena Montoya's My Life in Clothes turns on the neurotic insecurities of an ex-fashion model, while Steve Barlow's Crazy Like the Taz focuses on a young man's fascination with the Warner Bros. cartoon character the Tazmanian Devil. . . . Don Henry's Fell's Redeemer [is] the story of a journalist who profiles a murderer. . . . Clive Saunders' Love for $17.50 is adapted from a story by Charles Bukowski, [about] a man who begins a torrid affair with a mannequin. Jonathan Michals' Worm Story . . . shoots for cute and innocuous, and scores with a series of still, childlike drawings that illustrate the tale, told in nursery-rhyme voice-over, of a worm who longs to be a butterfly. The screening will be bookended by live musical performances from Indiespace artists.
