Probably my favourite short film. Marvin Illman as Paul Mermalstein is one of the greatest old man performances since Rene's grand parents in Allo Allo. The music in this film is incredible and if nothing if else its an amazing break up film.

Ray Tintori went on to do the Kids video for MGMT and was a set builder for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He also made a film called 'Glory at Sea' which I'm going to write allot more about later in the week.

Flotsam & Jetsam is a documentary based around the beachcombers of Texel, one of the largest Frisian islands just north of mainland Holland. Because of Texel’s geographical position, tidal system and strong north-westerly winds, an estimated 2 tons of flotsam and jetsam is washed up on the beaches a day.

The film will follow the day-to-day lives of the beach combers (or Jutters as they are know on the island), exploring their relationships and history as extraordinary people in extraordinary situations.

This blog will explain the influences and inspiration behind the film.
