The Applicant, starring Kath and Kim’s Peter Rowsthorn, selected for Aspen

Local short film The Applicant has been selected from more than 3000 submissions to screen at this year's Aspen Shortfest.

The five-minute comedy, which was written by Chris Corbett and directed by Tim Dean, stars Kath and Kim's Peter Rowsthorn and Nicholas Bell (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries).

The film was a finalist in the 2011 Tropfest competition and tells the story of a job interview that is not quite what it seems.

This is not the first time Corbett and Dean's work has been selected for Aspen. Their short film Fences screened there in 2010 and was awarded a BAFTA LA Certificate of Excellence. Fences also came third in Tropfest 2009, where it picked up awards for Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay and Best Editing.

Aspen Shortfsest is one of the world's leading short film festivals and will run from April 10 to April 15.
