"You know, like they used to do in cinemas"

A new DVD rental shop called La Luciérnaga (the glow-worm) has opened near my flat in Madrid, and they've come up with something rather cool. When you rent a film from them, you also get an extra DVD with one or more film shorts on it, to watch before the main feature.

Even more spiffing, they're also mining the Creative Commons to find cool, suitably licensed shorts that they can distribute to a wider audience.

The main limitation is that the film has to have a Spanish audio track or subtitles (or be silent).

If you're interested and don't live anywhere near, send me a download link to your film with some info, and I'll burn a DVD and take it along to them. Your Madrileño fan club starts here.
