Online shorts VS the theater experience

Nash Edgerton's short film SPIDER is a big hit on Digg today. It's interesting to check out some of the comments people are leaving after watching this online. There are positive responses but also many people complain this 8 minute film was too long. It's an example of the different experiences people have from watching a film in isolation on a computer vs at a festival on a big screen. In the theatre this was one of the best loved films of our festival last year (and ended up winning the Grand Jury Prize.)
