 There is nothing remotely PC about “CARMICHAEL & shane,” a mordantly funny short film by Rob Carlton and Alex Weinress. In an age of hyper-parenting that has given us “hot-house” children and “helicopter” parents, Carlton, who wrote and stars in the six-minute faux documentary with his two-year-old twin sons, proposes with relentless deadpan logic his novel solution to raising a successful child — “Choose a favorite.” That this radically un-PC message won the film first place at Sony Tropfest 2006 in Australia — the world’s largest short film festival — and strong reviews at three major festivals (Telluride, Tribeca, Seattle) confirms both the marksmanship of the directors and the relevance of the target. “The response we got from ‘CARMICHAEL & shane’ tells me you guys over there are just as twisted as we are here,” says Carlton, a well-known Australian actor and filmmaker. There was nothing remotely PC either about the film’s all-Mac, just-in-time workflow. “We made it for $20,” says Carlton. “We shot it in four hours. We edited it in three days.” Watch the short film online now.
