has instead become a visual radio station.

Whenever we ask for some songs on this forum,
no problem a hundred new discoveries.

But where are all the good short films?
I said Good.I'd like some. I think this
will hard for us as a forum.

I'd like Narrative story based short films

Some rules to filter the dross:

No abstract plotless weirdness -(story!)
No interviews -(story!)
No documentry shorts (- story!)
No travelogues (heres my town etc- story!)
No musician type music vids- (story!)
Animation is allowed


Don't pick the first short movie you see,
just whatever you regard as truly great or good

Well, I see pretty good ones on IFC and Sundance Channel, every once in awhile, but I don't remember the names always. You've certainly put out a lot of weird guidelines that exclude some good shorts ...

What originally came to mind for me was Fifteen Minute Hamlet, but I can never find that anywhere.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9626&Focus=286099#Comment_286099 2011-03-08T14:08:47-08:00 2013-05-24T09:51:26-07:00 alexwilson http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=43

Perfect choices! That's what im talking about! Minute i watched it
I was drawn into the story even though technically it wasn't brilliant.

I've sat through loads of abstract animation or filmic montages
and that's great. But there seems to be a great hole as big
as a moon crater for just telling regular stories.

Whatever genre, even fantasy.

A point is Star Wars movie shorts
at at The force.net.


incredible cgi stuff, movie level special FX! But only
4 or 5 are actually good stories.

I'd like this to be a thread of excellence. It doesn't have
to be all black and white and moody, it can be colour or animated.
It can be thrilling or plain entertaining.

my contribution, brilliant coming of age drama,
which later spawned oscar nominated Raising Victor Vegars with exactly
the same cast but slightly older..


"Five Feet High and Rising"

I remember Victor Vargas. Very cool find. I don't think it's available online but Michel Gondry's segment of Tokyo! was one of my favorite "shorts" of the last few years.
