I remember watching Benh Zeitlin's short Glory At Sea a couple years ago and immediately knowing that the films he will make in his life are going to give me that feeling. The one I rarely get when watching a film, but when I do, it's changes my life a little bit. His first feature should come out soon and I literally can't wait. 

IFC is doing coverage on young icons and Benh is unsurprisingly one. The best part is that they have his short film EGG streaming. Watch it, it's surreal, crafty and unbelivably entertaining.

Also, when you have a free 25 minutes, you can watch Glory At Sea in it's entirety HERE.

I've shown both Glory at Sea and Egg at "shorts nights" I've held at my place over the past year or so. While Glory at Sea was well-received, I think Egg freaked people out just a little bit. Not that that was bad. I loved the whole nautical theme running through both shorts as well as the attempt to use a big "quest" angle to lend weight to both. Plus, he was working in two totally different mediums. Definitely one to watch, along with his friend Ray Tintori.
