Trapped
Filmmaker Mag editor Scott Macaulay pointed us to this harrowing short - a time-lapsed video of a man trapped in an elevator for over 40 hours. "I was on two short film juries in the last two weeks. If this web video from The New Yorker had been entered in either of them, it would have been a finalist."
Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com. 
wow! harrowing is the perfect word to describe that. that's like a real-life Oldboy!

My God, I wanted to cry watching this...which is probably a bit much. Every time he opened the doors just broke my heart. If this was an entry at the short film festival I worked at, it would have definitely been a winner.

This is awesome! My favorite hour is 23. Then the part where they put the little "out of order" sign at the end. Imagine if Warhol had made this. It would have been 40 hours long.
