	Short Of Breath Produced and Directed by Jay Rosenblatt 10 minutes • 16mm • color/B&W • 1990 Best Bay Area Short, S.F. Int'l Film Festival "Short of Breath is a Rorschach test with moving images instead of ink blots." -Vincent Canby, NY Times A woman is reduced to tears. She bends over backwards trying to be a good wife and mother. Her head is cut off from her heart. A doctor picks her brain. A boy inherits his mother's depression. Short of Breath is a haunting, emotional collage about birth, death, sex and suicide. It's like a punch in the stomach.
