What do you do when you answer the phone and it is God?
ddhirsh20 June 2004
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.
