From the press release:
"Flux Fest challenges a group of young filmmakers to produce high-quality short films about time-travel. JOIN US JULY 28th!
With only eight weeks to take their projects from concept to completion, each team works tirelessly for the duration of the challenge to make the best short film possible, all culminating in a one-of-kind night of movie-watching and celebration.
From Spooky Fest (in which filmmakers were commissioned to make horror shorts in time for Halloween 2012) to Love Fest (romantic-comedy shorts for Valentine’s Day 2013) festival attendance grew by more than three-times and Flux Fest promises to expand upon its predominantly Brooklyn-based audience even further. Just as the number of participating filmmakers and exhibited films offered has grown, so too has the following of this impressive community of filmmakers who work to support eachother in spite of the fact that they will eventually compete against one another for a variety of awards, including an Audience Choice Award, an award for Best in Show, and an award for Creative Ambition. Both Best in Show and Creative Ambition honorees will be chosen by a distinguished panel of judges.
By purchasing a ticket to Flux Fest, audience members will also receive a six hour open bar and the chance to enjoy a variety of live entertainment acts throughout the night.
Flux Fest participants include: Maurice Caicedo, Chris Cipriano, Grier Dill, James Gannon, Joe Gannon, Ryan Garretson, Brett Glass, Sean Gill, Tessa Greenberg, Philip Henken, Cale Hughes, Christine Kecher, Lit Kilpatrick, Rachel Klein, Carl Conway Maguire, Alex Meyers, Robyn Nielsen, Shaun Seneviratne, Megan Stein, Michael Tosner, Jarrod Zayas, and many more."
Fresh Piss, which has played previously at Bideodromo in Bilbao, Spain, and won the 2012 "Best Transgression Short" at the PollyGrind Film Festival in Las Vegas will be appearing this March at the prestigious, Oscar-qualifying Atlanta Film Festival.

Tickets and more information are available here.
The film is described thusly: "A nasty little scene, set in a cesspool. A nefarious, masked man hires two fun-loving, Thunderbird-swilling hobos to assist him in a specialized task." It's dark, political, and features a curious combination of masked men and ventriloquist's dummies. It stars John Sellers, Isaiah Piper, Astrid Ferrari, Scooter Pie, and Eric Schmalenberger, and was written, shot, edited, and directed by Sean Gill.
GROWING BOY is going to be screened on February 1st as a part of the NYC Downtown Short Film Festival. The plot is described thusly: "Haunted by recurring nightmares of his childhood home, a man begins to undergo unsettling changes."

Tickets are $10 in advance, and $15 at the door, and are available here.
