In light of the recent election in Iran, I thought this was an appropriate Independent Short Film, offering insight that you might not otherwise hear or find.

This is an Independent Short Film that A friend of mine came across and brought to my attention. We hosted a film discussion evening in my apartment and it was REALLY interesting to hear what everyone took away from the film. What are your thoughts? Consider the film from a storyteller’s perspective: What elements of plot, theme, symbolism, etc. can you draw out of the film? Now consider the film from a filmmaker’s perspective: What do you notice about the shots, editing, filter choice, audio mixing, etc. that stands out to you? Leave a comment with your thoughts, and I’ll share some of my thoughts throughout.

Pencil Face is an instant classic. Slightly predictable, perhaps, but a remarkably well done Independent Short Film.

Science-Fiction is a genre that suits independent short films really well. Three specific types of Science-Fiction Short Films I’ve frequently seen are Time Travel (see also the Independent Short Film La Jetée and this collection of time-travel-themed Independent Short Films), Dystopian Society (see also the Independent Short Films Four and Televisual Man), and Post-Apocalyptic (see also the Independent Short Films 9, La Jetée, Alive in Joburg, or just feel free to explore a bit on your own.)
This short film falls into the last category. What do you take away from it?

I have to admit that I had this figured out from very early on, although that might be due to the thumbnail image. Clever wordplay, beautifully shot, and the colors of this independent short film are great. Fantastic use of filters and lenses.

This independent short film was more than I expected, honestly. I’m constantly surprised by the ideas people have, especially for animated short films.
What do you think?

King of Central Park, Short Film, various scenes is a post from: Independent Short Films

First a preface, and then a disclaimer:
I’d like to begin by saying that I have very strong personal objections to creating a music video and slapping the name “short film” onto it. I’ve seen it done numerous times and it really irritates me.
That said, I’ve decided (perhaps subjectively) that the short film in this post is, in fact, an Independent Short Film and not a music video. Here’s why: The film was made by a film student, not the artist. Although the story has its origin in the lyrics, the independent musician had nothing to do with the production of this short film.
And now the disclaimer:
This Independent Short Film will probably offend some viewers. The lyrics of the song contain words which many find to be inappropriate. They also describe a scene of violence and abuse, which in the short film, although animated, is nonetheless disturbing. However, I found the film to be powerfully moving, and the social and spiritual messages conveyed are what compelled me to post it here. I do hope that you’ll watch it, but be advised that it is not suitable for everyone.
