Awesome Short Films

The Punisher: Dirty Laundry

The Punisher: Dirty Laundry

(NSFW: Language, Gore) Fan films are a dime a dozen, but a fan film with a Hollywood actor who actually played the same character is something else. We guess he’s now called the Justicer.

The End (Short Film)

The End (Short Film)

(NSFW: Language) A man finds himself at the end of his rope, and ready to end it all in this darkly comic short film, described by creator Cam McHarg as “the feel good hit of the summer.” Or not.

The Secret Number (Full)

The Secret Number (Full)

Colin Levy’s Kickstarted adaptation of Igor Teper’s short story, about a mathematician who is confined to a mental institute because of his insistence that there is an integer between 3 and 4.

The 8-Year-Old College Student

The 8-Year-Old College Student

Tanishq Abraham is a real life Fred Tate. The 8-year old already studies astrophysics and has even discovered a supernova, but he still loves Buzz Lightyear and hanging out with kids his age.

Webcam

Webcam

(NSFW) A short film about hacking, shot entirely on a computer webcam. If you think it’s fear mongering, check the news. We’re now scared of our computer. Duct tape all the webcams!

88:88

88:88

88:88 sees a woman determined to defend herself from a persistent intruder. We like to think of it as a science fiction version of Home Alone. The music is by Makeup and Vanity Set.

Minecraft: Diamonds Are Forever

Minecraft: Diamonds Are Forever

An action-packed short film made by and for Minecraft fans. Don’t be put off by the goofy cardboard costumes. This is a Corridor Digital flick, and we all know what these guys can do.

Bat Eyes

Bat Eyes

A man remembers an episode from his youth involving a poem about remembering one’s youth. Directed by Damien Power, Bat Eyes is an adaptation of a monologue by Jessica Bellamy.

Little Quentin

Little Quentin

(NSFW) A fantastic animated short by Albert’t Hooft and Paco Vink. Little Quentin may seem pretentious, and it takes a while to hook you in, but it’s actually sincere and worth watching.

Now You Know It Anyway

Now You Know It Anyway

A storyteller “sells” one of her wares in Polder Animation’s (Blik) understated parable about the value of art and sharing knowledge. Hands down one of the best short films seen in a while.

Murder

Murder

A graduation production by students from the Multimedia and Animation Arts at the National Taiwan University of Arts, Murder is a grim tale of repression akin to Memento and The Prestige.

The Deep

The Deep

Another excellent animated short from stop motion master PES – the one brought us Fresh Guacamole – who turned common metal tools, parts and accessories into flora and fauna from the sea.

Lucky Day Forever

Lucky Day Forever

(NSFW) A film by Alek Wasilewski about a world where the only ticket to a good life is a literal ticket. But what is a “good life” in a dystopia that combines the worst of Orwell’s and Huxley’s fears?

Caution Wet Floor

Caution Wet Floor

A hitman encounters unexpected trouble when he takes down his mark in a bathroom in this twisted and darkly comic short film by The University of Arizona’s Two Coins. (Thanks Adam!)

Tell

Tell

(Gore) A short film inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Tell-Tale Heart. Despite its excessive preamble, Ryan Connoly’s film provides a gripping tale about guilt. DVD/Blu-ray here.

Colosse

Colosse

Director Yves Geleyn’s wonderfully animated short film features a giant wooden robot marionette, some woodpeckers, and a tremendous amount of heart and soul for a 2 minute film.

Spoiler

Spoiler

This short film is set in a world that has successfully survived a zombie outbreak but still deals with infection. Like The Walking Dead, Spoiler focuses on the living rather than the undead.

The Associate

The Associate

Get a quick shot of suspense with this short film by Dilation Studios, about an “entrepreneur” with a rather ridiculous but nonetheless compelling offer to potential clients. Hmmm.

ATM

ATM

A cute and charming animated short by Rikke Asbjoern about a monster whose fat fingers are just too big to use the PIN pad at the ATM. In the end, he’s way more honest than we’d be.

Ghost Recon Alpha

Ghost Recon Alpha

(NSFW: Language) A team of Ghosts deal with a TARFU mission. Even without a product to promote, this short film by Francois Alaux and Herve de Crecy can stand on its own. Turn captions on.

The Eagleman Stag

The Eagleman Stag

The critically acclaimed award-winning stop-motion animated short by Mikey Please. The Eagleman Stag tells the tale of Peter Eagleman, a man whose lifelong obsession with time does him no good.

Reverse Parthenogenesis

Reverse Parthenogenesis

…or, as we prefer to call this “pitch-black” short: The Devil Wears Birkenstocks. The film seems to think that it’s a one-act play and is thus too wordy and spirited, but it’s still worth watching.

A Story for Tomorrow

A Story for Tomorrow

Gnarly Bay Prod. shows the highlights of their trip to Chile and Patagonia. Shot on a Canon 1D Mk.IV. A testament to both the beauty of nature and the capabilities of today’s DSLR cameras.
