Synopsis
"The Wind Fisherman" lives in the windiest town in the world where he 'fishes' for things that have blown away and returns them to their rightful owners. His father, grand-father, great grand-father, and even great great grand-father before him were all Wind Fishermen but even though it is in his blood, it is not in his heart, at least not until he learns one of life's most valuable lessons.

That was...different. Cute, I guess. Nicely filmed.

Excellent production design and physical effects! The motivation for the main character to return to Gust Town seems a little flimsy. Gust Town needs to be in peril.

Why wouldn't everybody move to Stillsville? The whole family enjoyed this one.

I was a juror at the Bend film festival which gave $10,000 to the winning film and I fought hard for Wind Fisherman to win. It was the first time a short film ever won the big cash prize. Anna McRoberts is a wonderful director and deserved it.

A fantasy film that has figured out a use for those steampunk goggles.

nice touches: the outline of the kit on the guy's suit when he's not wearing it; the colors of the costumes in Stillville (sp?). Lots of sweet little details.
