Writer/Producer Koji Steven Sakai (The People I’ve Slept With) entered the Interpretations Film Initiative with his buddy Shane Sato. With their short film “Doggy Style”, they take on the Halle Berry quote, “I wish all men were like dogs.” This romantic comedy revolves around the relationship between singer Jessie Malay and Rabbit (the dog). Get ready for some shocking scenes. Here’s the director’s statement:
This is a fantastic project that got me off my butt to do short film. It was a great experience and fun to be a part of, and I thank yomf yomf for coming up with the idea. It is always refreshing to see how we can see and perceive the same thing so differently.
Leave feedback for the short here.

Opening this weekend is the movie Devil, a supernatural thriller with M. Night Shyamalan’s signature touch. In the film, a group of people is trapped in an elevator and one of them is the devil. M. Night Shyamalan talks about how he came up with the movie concept. He didn’t direct this film, but is a producer on it. The film will give you the creeps next time you ride the elevator.
