"When a seemingly picture perfect relationship begins to unravel, one man must make a choice between the woman of his dreams, and his reality. What follows is a raw glimpse into how loneliness and regret can test the limits of one's sanity."Brandon Routh and girlfriend Courtney Ford star in the 2006 short film Denial directed by newcomer Joel Kelly, produced by Courtney Ford, and executive produced by Roberto Orci. Shot on 35 mm film stock just weeks before Superman Returns, the 15 minute film premiered at the CineVegas Film Festival (Red Carpet Premiere, Photocall) Monday, June 12th with both actors in attendance.

An outstanding short film. Brandon proved himself an excellent actor. The direction and writing by Joel Kelly made for an impressive 15 minutes.
I heard "Denial" created quite a bit of buzz at CineVegas. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Hey, Iris:
The trailer for Denial is available for download at this site. It's about 2/3rds of the way down the page. A person needs either QuickTime or Real Player to view it once it's downloaded. I, too, heard that it generated good buzz; I'd love to see it eventually.
Anybody got any idea how/where it'll be available? It's not like short films get played all over the place. And this one looks really interesting.

I would love to see this one myself too... But I don't think they will play here all the way in Michigan since most of these short films are viewed in bigger states like L.A. or New York... I would however like to know if will be released on DVD any time soon for those who won't be able to see it?
DVD? Yes. When? Too soon to say. The film's still doing the festival circuit.
I must say, it's giving me great pleasure reporting on his work that's unrelated to Superman.
This looks like a really interesting film and I would love to check it out. Does anyone have an idea where it is being played and when? Is it only at these film festivals?
As far as I know, it's only playing in festivals.
King: It's showing next at the Palm Springs Festival. The link to that is in the post (2nd paragraph). I don't know what Brandon's next role is.
