Dan Boylan and Guy Taylor, A Free Radical

61st CANNES FILM FESTIVAL SPECIAL: From the world's biggest and most important film festival we speak with Washington, D.C. residents and Boston natives, the brotherly cousins Dan Boylan and Guy Taylor who screened their self-financed 24-minute short A Free Radical in the market's Short Film Corner. Filmed in Cape Cod, Washington, D.C. and Argentina, Radical also finds them in front of the camera as inept terrorists. Their hope? "We're using this as an audition to raise $100,000 to make a straight-to-DVD film," said Boylan.
