If you go see Stars In Shorts expecting to see Colin Firth in casual cargos from Lands End or Julia Styles wearing skin-tight Daisy Dukes, you’ll be disappointed. They’re not that kind of shorts, but they are those kinds of stars, so if you go expecting to see great acting and fine filmmaking, you’ll be rewarded. On the heels of the annual Oscar Nominated Short Films program, ShortsHD presents Stars In Shorts, a collection of short films featuring some of the world’s biggest actors. Many times you only see these films at festivals so I highly recommend the opportunity to see these presented together on the big screen. There is no consistent thread to the seven films other than they star famous actors including some Oscar winners.

We went to the premiere at BAFTA in London to see what the buzz is about.
As the lights dimmed, Kevin Kliesch's atmospheric score filled the room, the fairy tale voice-over of Penny Ryder began and we are thrust into a long tracking shot through the streets of a Cornish fishing town, it became perfectly clear what the buzz is about.
Made on only £31,000, Mrs. Peppercorn's Magical Reading Room looks absolutely stunning. The production design is good enough to rival even the...
