So this is what happens when you move to La? At least this is what happened to Peyton and his girlfriend in Brian McGuire’s On Holiday. The two make some friends, party it up and essentially go on permanent vacation. But they have a purpose, or at least Peyton does: he's trying to find himself.
If only real life were like this.
Lots of booze, lots of drugs, a few laugh out loud moments (was that a Total Recall homage I saw there?), John Hawkes and the always awesome Harry Dean Stanton who is billed as “Josh The Roommates Dad.” It likely means what we see of him in the trailer is what we’ll see of him in the movie but whatever, I’m a fan. The trailer’s amusing and a little gross but mostly just suggests lots of funny moments.

Hope kills. William has a dream: To have the fastest relay race team in the upcoming San Fernando Valley Games. Except, there’s one little problem. Including himself, he has only three men to compete in a four-man sport. But that obstacle only makes William more determined in Jared Varava’s sweetly low-key comedy The Fourth, which is embedded above. The film runs about 17 minutes.
The film, written by Jared’s brother Justin Varava, has some very funny bits in it, but it’s really the pacing and the wonderfully drawn characters that really make this a winning film. While walking an extremely fine line between being overly-cartoonish on the one hand and very human on the other, it manages to strike a perfect balance of those two sides. I also really like the look of the film, which sort of has a Wes Anderson kind of vibe to it.
