 Las Vegas has always been a special place for me. Gambling and filmmaking at times are very similar. By some, gamblers and filmmakers are considered eccentric for pursuing their passion. They both willingly accept risks and commit themselves to a movie or a bet hoping for the big pay-off. |

Parallels between moviemaking and gambling around. Each offer a potential payoff with big ricks creating extreme dramactic tension. No wonder gambling is so frequently represented in films, often acting as a metaphor for life itself. The films in this collection offer a splendid example of the various ways it has been used. |

"On The Verge"
Actresses taking their turn on the other side of the camera pay big dividends with two equally great but very different films on relationships. One is wickedly funny, the other dripping with emotion, but both are extremely well crafted and proof, as far as the filmmakers are considered, that some people can do it at all. The program is completed by two films as accomplished in their form as they are striking in their originality. While they may evoke comparisons to such masters as Svankmajer and Lynch respectively, they are distinctly original. |

"Avant-Hard"
Here's an honest representation of our homeland: a solid new wave of American filmmakers that are not interested in making a short film as a resume, but are filmmakers here and now, concentrating on the work itself. More personal than documentaries, more innovative than music videos, these shorts are strong and unique with exciting images and sound. Forget 7th grade, it's hip to be smart again. |

"Troy Miller Retrospective"
Short films are often used as stepping-stones for filmmakers to display their talents in hopes of making a feature film. But Troy Miller, who has made three features, (including CineVegas' closing night film RUN RONNIE, RUN!), continues to work in the form and has become a master of it. |
