A Bill Murray/Sundance short you can already watch

Date:

By choice, Bill Murray doesn't make that many films a year – he averages about 1.5 films per 12 months. In case you might be wondering what the .5 is … here is a prime example. About a million people before me have already seen the film (I'm not sure where I was all this time) but just recently, Spout's Karina Longworth pointed out a factoid that I had just discussed (read here) once the Sundance's short film selection was announced: is it really worth showcasing a film that has already been downloaded in the 7 figures?  

While we are on the subject of Bill – here is the list of films he'll be appearing in shortly commencing with a role in Warner Bros.' Get Smart
– he plays Agent 13…he is currently filming (as the lead role) the book to film adaptation of City of Ember about a futuristic society that might sound like what we'll make of this planet in 100 years or less and will join Wes Anderson for a different role in The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Directed by Dan Beers' – here is the short film entitled: FCU: FACT CHECKERS UNIT.
