Spin

An angelic DJ is sent to remix a series of unfortunate events with the use of his trusty wheels of steel.

In Spin, an angelic DJ is sent to a busy city block to mend a tragic accident only to find deeper issues bubbling beneath the surface. Using his “wheels of steel” to turn back time, the DJ finds that solving one problem creates another. When every element is brought in sync, a brilliant harmony emerges.

Director, Jamin Winans, not only wrote and directed the short but also composed the score. This is one of those films that’s fun to watch—a real good, feel good film.

Spin had little success in festivals until it clicked with online audiences opening up its acceptance into 50+ festivals—proof that online distribution can be a very effective way to get a film off the ground.

    [...] Most of all that’s what to admire regarding Jettison Your Loved Ones, that Tintori is able to tell a story this expansive in the limits of the short film medium. We are used to wordy dialogue with one or two sets when it comes to short film production; a focus on minor human dramas accentuated by ironic twists. But Tintori blazes through an epic with Speed. Hokey perhaps, but exhilarating and a lot of fun. If you like it, this film is on a DVD from Indiepix that features the previously reviewed film Spin! [...]
