Of course it's unfortunate that SXSW was cancelled for 2020 out of safety for the curbing of the COVID-19 pandemic but there is a mild silver lining in that occurence. Mailchimp and Oscilloscope Laboratories have teamed up to screen all the SXSW 2020 Shorts - for free.

I've always been a fan of any shorts program. I think the format gives a lot of flexibility on style, gives new fillmmakers a chance to flex a bit and pushes creative folks to tell a story in a condensed amount of time. I've never been able to watch the SXSW Shorts before, so this is a great opportunity for them to reach a wider audience.

There's not much to go on from the site - just a title, a director, a genre and a screen grab. If you're looking for a synopsis, you're out of luck. I suggest just hitting Shuffle and letting it ride.
