Get your fill of shorts Friday at The Bing

One of the most entertaining programs to play any film festival is a collection of shorts. For one thing, it takes far less effort — not to mention production costs — to make a short film. So the promise of quality is higher.

For another, if you don’t like a particular short, no problem. It’s likely to be over in a matter of mere minutes, with another taking its place.

All that said, the shorts collection The Best of Seattle Shorts Film Festival is scheduled to screen at 8 Friday night at the Bing Crosby Theater. The collection comprises 10 shorts, two of which “The Hero Pose” and “Serenade,” will be accompanied by their respective directors (local filmmakers Mischa Jakupcak and Kendra Ann Sherrill ).

Tickets are $15 ($10 for students). For more information, click here .
