The Official Final Deadline of the YoungCuts Film Festival was June 15th. While we will only announce our full selection of our Top 100 around July 15th and while there is still an opportunity for films that we haven't received yet to trickle in after the deadline, we thought that we would begin announcing some of the films that we know will be included in our Top 100.
These won't be announced in any kind of order and they should not be interpreted as any kind of ranking, just that we have all the material for this particular film and that we do consider it one of the Top 100 short films by filmmakers 25 and under that we have seen (and will see) out of more than a thousand films that we have screened from more than 30 countries.

Just Can't Trust a Drunk Ninja

| Greg Doble |
Directed and Written by Greg Doble
A whimsical animated exploration of the dangers of riding the subway, public drunkenness and ninjas or as Chuck Norris would say it, "Ninnjaaaazzzzzzz..."
It's always tricky for an animator to introduce his characters and tell a complete story in two minutes or less, something that Greg Doble handles with deceptive ease.
We particularly enjoyed the way that Greg split up the screen and used frames to tell his story.
