Just yesterday, we reported that Clark Baker earned a feature project after wowing with his short film Vessel. Now, the list of short filmmakers snagging studio jobs is getting longer. According to Deadline Hollywood, Tom Jenkins and Simon Sharp are the latest to convert internet buzz into a feature gig. Sony Pictures has hired the pair to re-write Giants and direct the film.

The plot focuses on an alien race of giants who are attacked and prompted to give chase to earth where they discover that they’re actually pretty small (and that they’re attacker was a loose screw from the Hubble telescope). So, it’s essentially Transformers in reverse.

The pair gained traction through shorts Speed of Light and Address is Approximate, the latter of which you can see above. Obviously, this is a trend we can get behind. It’s encouraging to see talent being recognized and rewarded.
