"Do you think we should turn out the lights?" Congrats!! This lovely short film just won the Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short over the weekend. The Neighbors' Window is filmmaker Marshall Curry's fourth short film to be nominated, and finally his first win. Inspired by a true story told by Diane Weipert on Love + Radio's "The Living Room," the film tells the story of a middle aged woman with two children whose life is shaken up when two free-spirited, 20-somethings move in across the street. Starring Maria Dizzia, Greg Keller, and Juliana Canfield. The short originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, and went on to play at dozens of festivals, winning over 20 awards in the process. Now it's an Oscar winner, too. Dizzia gives a superb performance in this, and that's only part of what makes it stand out. This has the depth and compassion of a film like Marriage Story, packed into only 20 minutes. Definitely worth a watch. ›››
