Some of you may have caught Sean Dunne’s great documentary short ‘The Archive’ online a short while back. It was an official selection at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and received some good airtime throughout the blog-o-sphere. Well Dunne has just finished his next short, ‘Man in Van’, which gives us a short look at the life of Jimmy Tarangelo; a dude who’s been living out of his van in NYC for the last eight years. This is a great follow up to Dunne’s previous work and another great example of some efficient short-form storytelling. I just love these bite size portraits. Check it out — along with The Archive — below!

Hi there!
I love the Man in Van video! I was just browsing around for short films and I just think that there are so many fascinating people and stories out there to be told! For me the reality is sometimes more fascinatiing and surprising than many of the fiction stories…
Greetings from Sweden!
I have to regularly stay overnight in the van but with no bed.
I wonder where his parking tickets get sent if he is technically homeless.
archive is a great little film. but man in van is even better! love to see this film maker evolve in his craft. quite nice.
