Rue Morgue and Unstable Ground take 'Little Terrors' on tour


If you know me, you know that I am a big fan of the short film format. In fact, some of my favorite films of the last couple of years have been shorts. So, news of this upcoming tour is grand news. Rue Morgue and Unstable Ground have been running the Little Terrors for one year now, and are just entering their second, and have decided to take the format on tour to a few festivals. The line-up for this tour looks mighty fine too, with two of my absolute favorites, which include my number one short of 2011, are included. Oh, and viewers in some of the cities listed should keep their eyes peeled for a screening of a rarely seen short, that isn't listed!
