VCM Interactive’s President, Paul Nandrajog had the pleasure of co-producing a short film that screened at the prestigious 2013 Cannes International Film Festival. The short film is called “Love Songs from an Android” and comes from the wild imagination of the skillful Toronto based Director/filmmaker, Sol Friedman. The short film is about a robot’s journey for unrequited love. The film screened in a block of short films presented by Telefilm’s ‘Not short on Talent’ section at the 2013 Cannes film festival. The film was created with some funding from bravoFACT. The Not Short On Talent screening is a special exhibition showcasing short films at the Cannes Film Festival, which showed over 40 Canadian short films, nine of which are bravoFACT funded shorts. Unfortunately, none of the cast or crew could make it for the festival celebrations, but they were sure to celebrate in their hometown of Toronto, Canada.
