APRICOT

SHORT FILM

"An online phenomenon"
- IF Magazine (Independent Film)

“No one has written a history of how we got to where we are with short film on the brand’s internet, but an anecdote: I remember film Apricot being important...(Briand's film) was a huge hit, and became a touchstone for many casual netizens, the first time they saw a narrative short film on the web with the subtlety and depth they associated with cinema. Apricot helped precipitate the move of prestige short film to the web."
