SXSW 2016 Exclusive | The Tipsy Poster for ‘Long Nights Short Mornings’

Audiences tend to like movies about big stuff, like superheroes fighting aliens or guys in hockey masks killing camp counselors or post-apocalyptic car chases. There’s nothing wrong with that, but there’s also nothing wrong with making a movie about little stuff either. That’s one of the reasons why independent film festivals are such a breath of fresh air for movie lovers and the industry as a whole: interesting ideas and intimate tales are, for at least a little while, the most important films in the cultural conversation.

One of the films at this year’s SXSW Film Festival seems to be embracing this idea: Long Nights Short Mornings, directed by Chadd Harbold (How to Be a Man) and starring Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead). The film’s description reads as follows, and while we haven’t seen it yet, we love how this reads:

James breaks it off with Katie, but feels bad about it. He doesn’t like hurting people. At least he’s seeing Monica tonight, she’s always fun. He doesn’t connect with her though, not like with Sarah – but they’re just friends. He was close with Natalie too, until she moved to LA. That reminds him, he’s going to work with that actress, Anna something. She’s probably too famous to talk to him though. And besides, Lily should be back soon and he really wants to see her. Sometimes he misses Lorraine, but thinking about her just makes him sad. Whenever he feels lonely, he texts Rapunzel – that’s not her name, he just can’t remember it. He should really delete her from his phone. But he can’t.

Boom. Drama. Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? We’ll have to wait and see until the film’s world premiere on Saturday, March 12 at SXSW 2016 but for now we’re proud to premiere the film’s tipsy new poster. So check out this thoroughly sauced one-sheet for Long Nights Short Mornings and keep coming back to Crave for more SXSW coverage!
