Filmmaker Jamie Stuart<\/a> captured the recent East Coast blizzard<\/a> in a short film called Idiot With A Tripod<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Known for his short films and film festival reports, he went out into a snow covered New York and shot a homage to the 1929 short “Man With a Movie Camera<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Notice the use of the track “Painted Sun In Abstract<\/a>” , which is from the soundtrack<\/a> to The Social Network<\/a> by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.<\/p>\n

After editing and uploading it to his Mutiny Co. website<\/a>, the link to it spread on Twitter and several blogs before Roger Ebert declared<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“This film deserves to win the Academy Award for best live-action short subject. Any professional will tell you the talent exhibited here is extraordinary.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From there the mainstream media picked it up and it was featured on sites like New York Observer<\/a> and the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n
