Lately I have seen some fantastic short films that I want to share. A few of the below have been posted in the Videos And Flash Movies and That Kind of Crap forum so you may have seen some before.
[b]Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses: The Movie[/b] (2008)
[b]Director:[/b] Brian McElhaney
[b] Writers:[/b] Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney
"Brian McElhaney's 2008 NYU Thesis Film, based on a script he and Nick Kocher wrote that garnered no support or money from any of the faculty, and nearly got him thrown out of class.
Filmed over an INTENSE 48 hours on the budget of about $11, "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses" went on to become an official selection at the 2010 SlamDance and SXSW Film Festivals."

[b] Writer:[/b] Oliver Kirchhoff
"Bachelor film project 2011 from The Animation Workshop.

[b]Bedhead[/b] (1991)
[b]Director:[/b]Robert Rodriguez
[b]Writers:[/b]Robert Rodriguez, David Rodriguez and Bryant Delafosse
"Bedhead is a 1991 short family-comedy-fantasy film directed and co-written by Robert Rodriguez.
Made while he was a student at the University of Texas at Austin, Rodriguez shot the film with his brothers and sisters as actors and with his family and friends as crew. The short film was then entered into several competitive film festivals, where it won cash prizes, money that Rodriguez then used to produce his first feature film, El Mariachi."

(This last one some people would not consider a short film but it tells a great story and is done brilliantly so in my books that makes it a worthy short film)

[b]Writers:[/b] Rob DenBleyker and Dave McElfatrick

It's an odd short film, certainly [i]artistic[/i]. You may be creeped out by it or you may enjoy it. Just watch.
the eagles are turning people into horses was one of the funniest short films i have ever seen. the acting was well done, too.
Which one had the logos moving around in a city? I forgot the name.
Eagles are turning people into horses was fucking hilarious.
These are all great, heres one my friend found:

Backwater Gospel was awesome.

It's a real movie :v:

This is a really good collection of short films.
I'd like to see more.
