If you go see Stars In Shorts expecting to see Colin Firth in casual cargos from Lands End or Julia Styles wearing skin-tight Daisy Dukes, you’ll be disappointed. They’re not that kind of shorts, but they are those kinds of stars, so if you go expecting to see great acting and fine filmmaking, you’ll be rewarded.

Many times you only see these films at festivals so I highly recommend the opportunity to see these presented together on the big screen. There is no consistent thread to the seven films other than they star famous actors including some Oscar winners.

Watch? Here's the first trailer for Stars in Shorts, originally from YouTube (via The Film Stage): Jay Kamen, Chris Foggin, Benjamin Grayson, Robert Festinger, Rupert Friend, Neil Labute and Jacob Chase direct...
