The fourth annual Oakland Underground Film Festival is screening Frédérick Maheux’s documentary Art/Crime; short films by Don Swaynos, Brian Lonano, Bob Ray and more.

Robert G. Putka’s Mouthful and Jared Varava’s Tumbleweed! are two short films that will screen at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival, which run in Austin, TX on March 9-17.

Watch Jared and Justin Varava’s sweetly low-key comedy The Fourth, about a three-man relay race team missing just one thing: A 4th man.

With three uniquely creative short films, Jared Varava proves that he’s a great upcoming comedy director who isn’t afraid to take risks to score laughs.
