Speaking of which, the short film for What Sarah Said, as part of Directions, came out this week. It’s pretty intense, and a bit confusing at first since the writing in the video is in French. Utilizing my incalculable Google™ skills, it says on the mirror, “He loves me”, and then “A little?” “Very much!” “Passionately” “With madness” and finally finishing the sentence on the mirror, “Not at all.”

Links to a bigger version of the film, and an analysis of the video from no fat clips!!! and the Death Cab for Cutie message board.

I’m eagerly waiting to see how the short film for Brothers on a Hotel Bed turns out.
