Film Friday 11

To kick off the new year of 2011, the eleventh Film Friday is a compilation of 11 awesome shorts! If you don't like even one of them, you have permission to hiss and throw tomatoes at me. For serious. I'm so confident in these.

I also thought you would get a better idea of each film through a description instead of a genre. Marry Me's description is straight from Youtube, the rest are either altered from Youtube or entirely written by yours truly. Let me know if you would prefer descriptions or genres in the future.

And as always, let me know how you like these :)
