    The Poppy Jasper Film Festival Screens Small Miracles in Morgan Hill

    NAMED AFTER a semiprecious stone found only in the Morgan Hill area, the Poppy Jasper Film Festival annually offers short-attention-span cinema for the South County. The really brilliant short film can be perfect in a way that the feature-length film can almost never be; in a great short film, the urgency never flags. The longest offering at this year's Poppy Jasper Film Festival is the 38-minute invited film El Pasajero, in which a wealthy robbery victim in Venezuela turns the tables on his poor and aged gunman, a taxi driver.
