America's most intoxicating blend of short cinema
And this was *before* Nancy and Warren sent six lucky moviemakers and Crush VIPs on a comp wine tour on Friday…
Thanks to @bacchusandbarleyww for lifting spirits, in many ways.

Q&A for Storied Pasts (our final block 😱) is in full swing! Moviemakers @sade_abiodun @patrickn0th and @chrissmithwho share insights on neuroscience, the Hubble telescope, and coping with trauma through storytelling in our last interview of 2023. We enjoy every minute we get to spend in conversation with our artists, and we hope you do too!

One of the best parts of WWMC are the filmmaker Q&As that give the audience a look into the creation of their favorite short films. The crew behind the films of our heartbreak block “Crushed” give insight to their creative process and the work that goes into each production.

2 days until WWMC returns! Here’s a short haiku inspired by the planning process:
Phones ring off the hook
Movie screens flicker with light
Plans fall into place.

Now that our first round of sponsors and vendors have gotten some love, it’s time to showcase the remaining partners who are so graciously hosting and feeding us this weekend! The iconic @powerhousetheatre will screen all 17 of our hour-long short film blocks, and our friends at @dibsonmain @foundryvineyards and @baconandeggswallawalla are providing us with the space and goodies to entertain post-show. @colvillestreet will keep us stocked with delicious pastries for the morning after. Let’s get ready to party!

A nominee for this year’s Best Youth Short Award is everything a young moviemaker’s work should be: bold, beautiful, innovative, intimate, striking. @julianfelixaaronson has crafted a gem with THE EXTERNAL-INTERNAL MONOLOGUE OF AN INTERDEPENDENT INSOMNIAC. Check it out at @themoviecrush this Sunday, July 9th at Noon in the block, Parental Guidance Suggested.

4 more days! 4 words in Walla Walla Movie Crush! Coincidence? Yeah, actually. We know how linear time and the English language work.

We’ve been fans of @kattmazman for years. (If you haven’t seen KILLER, find it and lose yourself in its self-loving madness.) That’s why we are so stoked to finally showcase his work next week at @themoviecrush. DONKEY will screen on Sunday, July 9th at 3pm in a block called “Costume Drama.” This tale of performer facing bigger problems than his Shrek-voice hits our bittersweet spot of comedy, the kind that amuses and stings and hits home.
Reserve your weekend passes today. (Link in bio.)

5 days left! What 5 words can describe WWMC? We pick inspiring, bold, reflective, heartfelt, and a really really good time. We know that last one isn’t a single word, but we just liked it.

What will future generations or alien species think of Humans? I wouldn’t be surprised if @chrissmithwho and @jackdesena have the answers for us mortals in the hilariously biting THE FUTURE’S PAST, screening in the final block of shorts at @themoviecrush, titled “Storied Pasts” on Sunday, July 8th at 4pm.
