Wes Anderson's Side Projects Are Cooler Than Mine. A Selection.

CASTELLO CAVALCANTI

In Wes Anderson's unmistakable style, Jason Schwartzman plays a not-so-successful race car driver. In Castello Cavalcanti, he crashes into a local village statue during a race. In typical Jason Schwartzman fashion, he quickly wins over the local villagers.

HOTEL CHEVALIER

An unusually quiet short film featuring Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman. Love and Paris are once again at the center. Somehow, Peter Sarstedt's rather cheesy song got to me. With all its stereotypes, it definitely evokes my longing for France.

CANDY

A three-part story by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola. A tale of the enchanting Candy, a romantic Paris, and love. And two bros on an unexpected journey.

COUSIN BEN TROOP SCREENING

Moonrise Kingdom takes place in the summer of 1965 on an island off the coast of New England and tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away into the wilderness together. In this short film, Jason Schwartzman plays Cousin Ben, a scout leader guiding aspiring scouts – or maybe not.

COME TOGETHER

To quote Andrew Harding: 'It’s amazing how a single symmetrical shot with Adrian Brody is all you need to know that you're watching Wes Anderson.'
