Frame of Mind: Short Film Foray


by Jeremiah Jensen 18 Oct 2016 7:26 PM

We’ve got a game for you. Match this week’s 5 “Frame of Mind” films with the lessons they share, from the importance of kindness to why you shouldn’t get greedy.

CTA TBD

This week on “Frame of Mind” we’re bringing you four short films and one music video. Think of it as a modern microcosm of the Moral Compass.

Frame of Mind airs on Thursdays at 10 pm.

The stories recounted in these films are real-life lessons wrapped in fictional or artistic mantles. Lest I spoil any of these lessons with a premature word, allow me instead to tempt you with a taste of what’s to come with a game.

Can you match these lessons to the following 5 films?

Tune in to “Frame of Mind” at 10 p.m. Thursday to see if you guessed right!

1: Kindness is priceless.

2: There are consequences for taking the easy road.

3: We are responsible for our future.

4: Violence begets violence.

5: Life is heavy; lean in to your loved ones.
