Those box[ur] shorts!

We’ve all been there -- nothing to do as you wait alone in a public place like a laundromat for the spin cycle to finish or for a friend who’s late meeting you at a bar.
Five years ago, two film enthusiasts, Giacun Caduff and Ryan Reichenfeld, created a solution with their idea to make a network of movie jukeboxes that incorporate short films into viewers’ everyday experience. The idea turned out to have merit and has evolved into a full-fledged international festival -- box[ur]shorts. The festival will celebrate its fourth annual awards night this Saturday.
box[ur]shorts festival director Caduff -- a Switzerland native and graduate of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television’s MFA Producers Program -- was inspired as a producer to establish a direct connection between filmmakers and their viewers by screening at places where people have a chance to watch a quick five- or 10-minute film.
The fourth box[ur]shorts Film Festival Awards took place on Saturday, January 9th, in the New Beverly Cinema and, in contrast to most smaller film festivals, had an enormous turn out. This is a great accolade to the founders , Giacun Caduff and Ryan Reichenfeld, who have achieved such attention by creating a quite unique premise in the filmmaking world.
