SHORT-A-MONTH PROJECT
The SHORT-A-MONTH Project is a challenge in which Paoli directs and produces a short film every month, starting with the month of September of 2018, running the span of a year, using whatever resources are available. Primarily based on adaptations of poems, these shorts explore stories of alienation, sexual discoveries, and unrequited love.
