The following shorts are among the 10 titles currently available for download via AtomFilms To Go: Street of Pain — a dodgeball comedy featuring “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” Steve Carell; Consent — a “safe and legal sex” comedy by Jason Reitman, director of the upcoming feature film “Thank You For Smoking”; Your Face — a classic, Academy Award nominated animation from Bill Plympton; Rockfish — action-packed computer generated animation; being developed into a feature film voiced by Vin Diesel; Cheney’s Got a Gun — a musical parody chronicling the Veep’s recent hunting misadventure.
Upcoming AtomFilms To Go releases will include a selection of AtomFilms’ hits, current film festival favorites, and worldwide premieres of original projects developed by AtomFilms Studio.
