Killer Films is excited to begin our next project in collaboration with Massify and new partner, Ace Hotel. This time we're looking to try something a little different; some very short, very funny vignettes. Set at Ace Hotel's New York outpost, we'll develop a collection of original, concise narratives that are intelligent, artful and comedic.



Congratulations to the selected filmmakers and be sure to apply for cast and crew roles for each film by February 1st.

Selected Concepts

  • Lulu at the Ace Hotel
  • by Maya Kazan
  • Lulu is just an average little girl. Except instead of going home after school, she goes to the Ace Hotel, a modern-day palace for her personal playground.
  • Charley
  • by Dee Robertson
  • A young and dysfunctional couple visit New York City with a unique stowaway traveling in their suitcase.
  • Shave
  • by Nancy Kissam
  • A straight man checks into the Ace Hotel to do the one thing he has to do before he tells his wife that he wants to become a woman: shave.
