Calgary film fest relishes rejecting directors

Wax’s promos for the Calgary International Film Festival, designed to illustrate that “Only the best films make it,” are mildly diverting, but probably wouldn’t pass muster at the actual show. The breakfast scenario (below) with a rejected auteur pouring liquor on his cereal fares best. Frankly, I thought everyone started the day that way. See three more spots after the jump. The one set at a filmmaker’s yard sale, with the faux Hollywood type petulantly hurling change at a little girl, is OK—but all of these should’ve gone much further.
