While You Weren't Looking

 
Written/Directed by Jeremy Mackie
Produced by Cheryl Cowen



 

While You Weren't Looking takes the essence of a grand swashbuckling adventure and miniaturizes it to 5-year-old size. While out on a trip to a grocery store, an overprotected young boy steals away from his Mom on a shopping cart, stirs up trouble scooting down the aisles, and ends up over his head in a drag race with the local hot-rodder of the store.

The film combines action-packed sequences from art-house films like Run Lola Run with the kid-friendly adventurism of films like The Goonies and Catch that Kid. It's the first narrative piece from filmmaker Jeremy Mackie, who directed the Seattle city film Grey Linings.

Donate to an indie kids action adventure film, make art, make fun.

"My Time with Betty" is an intense, character-driven exploration of captivity, the chase for freedom, and truth versus illusion. It's about a woman wrongfully locked up in a mental asylum who breaks free, taking a local waiter somewhat hostage. When the sheriff drops by she's forced to surrender her trust to a stranger...only to have the gun turned on her.

This is the fourth award-winning short written by Heather Ayres and Ixaac Paul Ackley. The film is being directed by Heather Ayres (Lipstick Men) and produced by Annie Flocco (Acts of Worship, Super Troopers) and Heather Ayres.

1968. A time in our nation’s history when our country was coming apart, young people from poverty backgrounds and diverse cultures from all over the country, assembled on the campus of Yale University. Together we searched for the values that ground people and bind them together. This compelling documentary recounts that effort; how it continues to reverberate in the lives of the participants, and its meaning for America today.
