I'm jealous Matt. I was late to the game and hadn't even heard about the film until Andrew wrote a review. We got sequels to look forward to though right? Hopefully he'll remember your help and send Dragon*Con a copy. When that happens I fully expect a copy for my own collection =P Nice! I’m jealous Matt.

Foster Fri, 13 Mar 2009 20:13:12 +0000 http://www.shortoftheweek.com/?p=957#comment-18382 I didn't know this was online or I would have beaten you to reviewing it--which shows how lazy I am as I've reviewed it twice already (for my site, http://www.fosteronfilm.com/shorts/jaspermorello.htm, and for my short fiction review column at http://thefix-online.com/features/first-flicker/). "The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello" is a brilliant work; one of the best short films of the decade. I first saw it as a film submission for the Dragon*Con Independent Short Film Festival. We were the first festival in the U.S. to accept it (though not the first to screen it), which means I might very well have been the first person in this hemisphere to see it. Ah, we all claim to what fame we can. In corresponding with Lucas, I brought up the term steampunk, which he hadn’t been familiar with, and he was quite pleased to finally find a description that captured his work. I was thrilled that “Jasper Morello” was nominated for an Oscar. That it didn’t win is just another in a very long line of indicators that the Academy Awards have little to do with quality.

Thanks, Mr. Koon! Nice to get a review of my review. Thanks, Mr. Koon!

Obviously, he had terrific training as a youngster. The film does go that nonexistent realm of an imagined future from the perspective of an imagined past rendered by a wistful, somewhat disillusioned present. Nice work on the part of both Lucan and Allen. I think the review above by Andrew Allen captures the very essence of the film. Obviously, he had terrific training as a youngster.
