Yea, so what's with all the No Fat Cat business, anyway?

The maker of the so-called "calling card" film, with slick production values and high-end blah blah blahs, that either looks like TV or smells like a "real" movie, that follow step-by-step Hollywood directions...is fat cat. Hi mom! doesn't see short film as the poor man's feature. Or as a medium occupying our time until we "make it big." Hi Mom! shows the work people want to make, not what they think other people want to see. The work we show is diverse, it's smart, hilarious, and the kinds of things these people come up with! Jees...

On to another year of movies, music, and pancakes in the shape of your initials. Remember: Hi Mom! loves you more than any other festival EVER could.
