We are thrilled that one of MediaStorm’s latest films, The Last Move, has been selected by Short of the Week and is today’s pick. Short of the Week is an online, year-round film festival for shorts that has been discovering and promoting the greatest and most innovative stories from around the world since 2007. The Last Move tells the story of Michael Thomasson, who has passionately spent a lifetime amassing the world’s largest video game collection and is recognized by the Guinness Book of World’s Records. But with his mother sick and facing an enormous mortgage, Michael decides to put his collection up for sale, and hopes that someone will pay enough to cover his costs. Watch the film here, “like” it on Vimeo, share it, and spread the word to other lovers of shorts and good stories.
