Have you seen better breakdancing?

Social networking tool Twitter is making the leap to the silver screen — moving from laptop monitors and cell phones to the D-list world of reality TV. (Read full story here.) The show, which would follow players as they stalk celebrities in a competitive format, is in talks but has yet to be signed.

Given the super-hot, albeit fad-like nature of Twitter, this is:

A) Ridiculous. No one will watch it.

B) A smart idea, but it creeps me out.

C) Hysterical. LMFAO.

D) Brilliant. It will happen, then I will rule that show.

E) Yaaaaaawwwn: I do not care.

Short on time, long on talent, shorts filmmakers are often artists whose films are a labor of love crafted with their own sweat and moxie, whatever the cost. On Saturday April 4th join Sundance Film Festival Programmers Trevor Groth and Todd Luoto and 10 shorts filmmakers, including Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), Andrew Okpeaha MacLean (2008 Sundance Film Festival Shorts Jury Winner), and Destin Cretton (2009 Sundance Film Festival Shorts Jury Winner), for an evening devoted to the renegades of the film world.

5 p.m.:  Shorts Program 1

6:30 p.m.: Filmmaker Panel: Short Films - Big Impact

8 p.m.: Shorts Program 2

The Sundance Film Festival named John Cooper as its new director today, following the departure of Geoff Gilmore to Tribeca. Well known in the industry for his “good news” phone calls to selected filmmakers as the fest’s former director of creative development, Cooper will now lead the institute in artistic development, international partnerships and strategic growth.

For sake of nostalgia: John Cooper in action. (Less than 2 percent of applicants hear this message.)

Scenes from a new children’s movie might look familiar to Old Town residents — if the flick ever makes it to the big screen. An independent film called “The Snowman,” slated for completion next year, used a Park Avenue church for crucial scenes, discretely moving crews into the space and disappearing as quickly as they came.
