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.

Oh Hey! - Drunk Driving PSA

| Bryce Bladon |
Directed and Written by Bryce Bladon
It is hard enough telling a coherent story in the super short form of a public service announcement.
Making it funny is even tougher.
But making a funny PSA about Drunk Driving?
Bryce Bladon and his team up the artistic ante considerably by telling a surprisingly funny one minute story about the perils of Drunk Driving.

Filmmaker Bio: Bryce Bladon is a man-child who friends and colleagues describe as relatively tall and pleasant-smelling. He’s received awards for his screenwriting and has works professionally in both the public and private sector as a filmographer and writer. He always feels narcasstic writing his own biography, but that doesn’t stop him from embellishing on how incredibly modest he is. Bladon typically writes and directs comedy, but has been known to dabble in drama, action, horror, and romantic-comedy/torture-porn.

Filmmaker Statement: Love. Passion. Anger. These are just three words that in no way relate to Bryce Bladon’s PSA on the dangers of drunk driving. Oh Hey is a rarely-seen comedic attempt on an otherwise serious topic.
