This is another edition of Short Starts, where we present a weekly short film(s) from the start of a filmmaker or actor’s career. While the new comedy The To Do List just opened in near-wide release, it’s not playing everywhere.

Today’s film is the 2005 short Jenny Clone. The film features the voices of Bill Hader and Maggie Carey, the latter of whom also edited, wrote, and directed the film. Carey is an experienced member of the industry, with a 12-year career that includes creating The Jeannie Tate Show and writing and directing for Funny or Die Presents…. Carey makes the jump to the big screen with her feature film writing and directing debut, titled The To Do List, which opens in wide release in American theatres this weekend.
