Any person who loves short films should know about Martin Pickles. Pickles is a sometimes-surrealist, all-the-time eccentric British filmmaker. I fell in love with his work starting with his End of the Century film, which was featured in a Microcinema series. I haven't seen a film of his that hasn't been, in the very least, entertaining and humorous (though at times pretty dark), but most are thought-provoking and sometimes reminiscent of the brilliant Spanish filmmaker Luis Bunuel's work. On Pickles's website gmfilm.co.uk, you can check out most of his short films.
