I organized an AMA/Q&A with all 5 of the filmmaking teams of this year's Oscar-nominated Live Action Short films.
It's live here now in /r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

They'll all be back at 1 PM ET tomorrow Tuesday 2/24 to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!
Thank you :)
