Terrific short by up and coming filmmaker Greg Hirsh. Showcased in five film festivals it has been an audience favorite, winning a best director and best writer nod at two. This is the story about a young man named Adam, who while going about his business one day, answers a ringing payphone. On the other end is a voice claiming to be God and asserting that Adam, and Adam alone, must take on the daunting task of saving the universe from a colossal, all-existence threatening, mistake that, dare we say it, He the Almighty has made. Adam, of course, doesn't buy it and, indulging the seeming joke, drags the voice into a debate over the problems of believing vs seeing. Clever, non-pretentious, and fun, Long Distance is an insightful look at mankind's need to understand the un-understandable.
