Rest Area

I saw this short film at the Tribeca film festival this past week. As simple as it is, that's how completely unique and excellent it is. Sean (Blaine Pate), is driving to a business appointment late at night when he gets really tired and decides to stop at a rest area to catch some sleep. That's where he meets Amy (Marcelina Willis), a lonely traveller, who asks if she can join him in his car. The rest is brilliance. With the suspense of Hitchcock and the comedic timing of Mel Brooks, this was clearly my vote for best short. I loved it.
