2020 Short Film Challenge - No Theme Week #1

#1?

Yup.

In looking over the calendar, I see that there will a lot of No Theme Weeks. Hey, there are just not enough themes out there. So, I decided to look into subjects that I am fond of for this week's Blog. Here are the films viewed:

By the way, many of them are links to the films if you want to watch along.
