Glitch x 9

Part way through shooting The Glitch, the comedy website FunnyorDie.com released a short film starring Jason Biggs of American Pie as a hapless boyfriend caught in an endlessly repeating time loop on an awkward dinner date.

Unfortunately, this funny film was also called The Glitch. At that time, I had just completed shooting 80-percent of my own Glitch, including scenes that firmly enunciated the title, which I could not afford to reshoot. But further research revealed a rake of other films also entitled Glitch, so I said ‘never mind,’ or words to that effect, and decided to stick with my title.

Now that Flashfilms’ The Glitch has begun its first public performances, I decided to come clean, in the interests of full disclosure, to prove that filmmakers are antennae attuned to common signals. Either that, or we are all fundamentally lazy and don’t do much research.

So browse away, and may the best Glitch win....
