Hi there, I had a random question - I see you worked at atomfilms so perhaps you can help.

Are most of the short films available online elsewhere, e.g. youtube? I'm looking for a specific film, I saw it years ago and it was about a pair of con artists (bro and sis or bf and gf, can't remember!) who drive from stop to stop in the desert pretending to be blind I think and conning people. They're exchanging imaginary scenarios in the car - "what would you do if... five men were chasing you in the street, you have a small penknife and you can either leap the fence, run into a supermarket or ..." etc. Then they end up being in a real scenario where these guys are chasing them down having realised they've been conned. As they're cornered, one of them says "what would you do if..." (something to do with only three stones lying on the ground and three men facing them off). The last shot is of the car being driven away, we don't know by whom.

Sorry for the long description there, let me know if anyone remembers it or can help me track it down, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks Chris for this interesting post. It raised a few good points about the challenges. I have been working on a similar project for a while. And you post has given me a new direction to think about.

Keep writing.
