Super Shorts: A Thousand Words



Saturday Night Live cast member-to-be Nasim Pedrad is the beguiling photographer in this sweet short film about digital cameras and making a connection.

1000 Words

We don't know much about A Thousand Words director Ted Chung, or the good-looking star of the short, Yoyao Hsueh. What we do know about the film is that it's a short short, not a single scene wasted, and sweet (in the same way that digital technology has turned us into people who can't communicate, are better citizens, and are also kinda stalkers), and just-announced new Saturday Night Live cast member (along with Brooklyn's own Jenny Slate) Nasim Pedrad is winning enough, in both still photos and in-motion, to convince this guy to go after her and give her back her camera.

What a beautiful and moving short. I would like to see part 2! I only hope my little short can be so engaging.
