Austin Movies Inc.: ‘Shorts’
“Shorts” — Robert Rodriguez returns to family-friendly fun with this fantasy feature, which the filmmaker has kept ‘super, super, super quiet,’ says Bob Hudgins, director of the Texas Film Commission. Structured in short episodes, hence the title, the movie started production this week. ‘A group of young outcasts are swept into an unexpected adventure when they find a mysterious box in their neighborhood’ is the plot summary flittering about online. LatinoReview.com got its hands on the script and describes it as ‘an acid trip for kids,’ loaded with childish gross-out gags. ‘There are spaceships, dung beetles, toaster people, crocodiles and much more,’ the site reports. Elizabeth Avellan produces at the team’s Troublemaker Studios.

When Robert was up here at UT last week, he described the film as a “Pulp Fiction for kids” so it should be interesting.
