Keeping up with this chaotic non-existent posting schedule: NEW FILM DROPS TOMORROW! 🐝

Okay, so - clearly the creator of this website (me, sophy) underestimated how much extra time I would have to run this project smoothly. I hope to eventually hire help, but as a total no-profit endeavour I have not yet been able to do so. That being said...new short drops today!

TIME by filmmaker Ben Creech is the latest in the program, selected by Evan Schwartz! I love a conceptually tight short film that sticks to its guns and this fits the bill perfectly. Available now! ⏲️⌛️🎞️https://t.co/smx5BuSQvF

@rossbrew Hi Ross! Feel free to submit your short through our website, all shorts are considered equally through the filmmaker curation process. Thanks!

I'm thinking of running a 4-session (plus 1 mentoring session) Short Film Workshop series for filmmakers all about writing/directing shorts, from the idea through to film festivals - if you'd be interested in that, drop me a DM or send an email to [email protected] 🎥

This is actually very solid advice for anyone just starting out with narrative short films: before you write your script, think about what you have access to! 💡

Now showing: FOUR NIGHTS OF A DREAMER a rarely-seen revelation by ROBERT BRESSON

Two wayward souls meet on a bridge: a girl who may jump, a boy who may save her. Bresson arranges for them a play of hands, doorways, and audiotape.

For 2 weeks on https://t.co/ze1aiG4mBX.

"If we’re going to keep referring to short films by that moniker, can we start calling feature films 'longs'? Or at least acknowledge that the length of a film does not correspond to its worth?"

A friendly reminder, in particular to shorts filmmakers navigating festivals:
1) If a festival contacts YOU to submit your work, ask for a waiver -- you should not be paying.
2) Always ask about screenings fees. Many festivals will only provide them to those who ask.

Hello! I want to apologize for the long absence on this page -- simply couldn't keep up on my own, BUT we will be returning to our regular programming post TIFF!

Next up: the gentle and thoughtful photo essay Grantham Overgrown (Infinite Regression) by Thomas Watchorn about which filmmaker Nick White said: “It made me consider on a really fundamental level what draws me to filmmaking” ✨
