SFW Reviews: Illegal Move
Illegal Move A cute animated film about what would happen if two chess pieces fell in love on the board. The film is funny and makes you think about chess pieces in a whole new light. The two pieces encourage each other to be more daring, and learn to break the rules for love. I…

This NSI short film is about a Canadian couple who buys a small breakfast café in Vancouver after losing their jobs. A Little Elbow Room becomes a saving grace for co-owners Patrick and Bryan.

Keep readingRangan 99 By Tiyam Yabandeh Jahroumi *Viewer Warning*
A Must Watch! This film is one of the best independent short films I have seen in a while. There is such raw attention to detail from the first scene, and I felt absorbed in the moment with the characters. There is a mysterious atmosphere, and you are not quite sure what is going on…
Keep readingCrafted By Morgan Spurlock
This is a refreshing short about getting back to the basics of why we do what we do. The film investigates five master artisans, each with a story that embodies a love for carving a unique path of purpose. Each started with what was available to them, and they are grateful to see their passions…
Keep readingYVFF 2021: King of Dinoland and Kiss The Ground [Final]
King of Dinoland This film allows me to reminisce about my childhood growing up in the desert. Abe’s personality is very adventurous and childlike, and I think his environment really brings that out of him. When you grow up in a desert (whether physically or metaphorically), you learn to make something out of nothing. Nature…
Keep readingYVFF 2021: Caroline
Caroline This film had a bit of a slow start, but I liked the dynamic on-screen relationship between the two characters (Rachael Rath and Terrance Richardson). The film is a bit different, but not so different that the viewer cannot enjoy the creativity. I thought the art exhibition was fascinating; this idea of tackling the…
Keep readingYVFF 2021: Animated Films to Watch
Films to Watch: The Broken Candle This cute animation wants to remind us that we all have a purpose and a gift to share with the world despite our challenges. God of Fortune by Nerissa Choo Wee Jin A young boy goes to dire extremes in an effort to increase his fortune. Gaslight My take-away…
Keep readingYucca Valley Film Festival 2020/2021: Maestro, Super Generic, and The Penguin & The Whale
2020 Maestro This is a film about a squirrel with an astute ear for music. He starts an orchestra in the middle of the forest using only the voices of his fellow woodland creatures. The scenes in this film are photorealistic and unbelievably beautiful. Super Generic This is a cleanly designed film heavily influenced by…
Keep readingSomewhere Between Heaven and Hell By Andrew Librizzi
While on a road trip, two old friends begin to question the meaning of life. “You can age with grace and dignity, or you can go out kicking and screaming.” I especially liked the dialogue between the main characters. Overall, this was a beautiful short about the importance of living a life well-lived.
Keep readingMonthly Wrap Up [#3]
Hey All, It’s been a minute since I did a chat session with everyone, but I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy. September was a pretty busy month, and as a result, I did not get to a monthly wrap-up. So, here it is! I will include September’s monthly wrap-up in October’s post…
Keep readingPepper By Patrick Aubert
I thought Pepper was a good representation of why communication is vital in a relationship. I’m sure this film was meant to be a light comedy, but I think the scenario in this short is very common. I think the acting was well done, and the film was clever about its messaging. The main character…
Keep readingNational Screen Institute-Canada: #Cold *Trigger Warning*
A guy wanting to end his life meets a former classmate who gives him more reasons to live. They are both lonely people, but they handle their loneliness in different ways. She shows him that it is okay not having all the answers to life’s questions. That life is not meant to be taken so…
Keep readingMental Health Channel Online Film Festival: Leben! By Carolin Farber [2015 Vision Winner]
This is a transformative tale about a man’s battle with OCD. What I liked most about this film is the main character’s ability to identify his disorder and triumph over it. He has taken the extra steps needed to recognize his triggers and find potential solutions for them. We see his symptoms manifest themselves as…
Keep readingGoodbye Charm City By Christian Grier
This film highlights a tumultuous battle between a mother’s love for her son and a mother’s gift to see the fault in another woman’s child. Trying her best to discover the answers rooted deep within her troubled heart, the mother must confront the murderer’s sister to find solace in her difficult choice. The question now…
Keep readingSpectrum By Jill Jones
This film tackles the controversy behind autism and explains what autism looks like for the individuals who have it. The film features interviews from several people clinically diagnosed with autism; together, this group begins breaking down what their isolated experiences with autism look like on a sensory perception spectrum. The filmmakers did a fantastic job explaining, in detail, that autism should be looked at as a blessing rather than a curse. They creatively painted a picture of autism that counteracts its typical portrayal in the media. I appreciated the heart of this film. It was produced on a modest budget, but it makes up for it by executing its ideas in a direct…
Keep readingCG Meetup: Don’t You Know You’re Queen
This is a darkly crafted experimental short that plays around with different graphic design elements to create a style I have never seen before. To me, this film paints a rare picture of self-discovery and liberation. One, that represents all the unique wonders we get when we have the courage to be who we are…
Keep readingNational Screen Institute-Canada: ‘Til Death
What would you do to get back the person you loved? What sacrifices would you make? Now, imagine existing in an endless loop, chasing the very thing you thought you already had. That is the very premise of this film: chasing what was not intended to be found and never realizing it. In the first half…
Keep readingMental Health Channel Online Film Festival: The Mermaid By Sara Werner [2015 Jury Winner]
This is a bittersweet short about a young man that suffers from schizophrenia and the sister that cares for him. The pair live together in a small apartment, and from how the sister describes their living situation, she has been her brother’s primary caregiver for quite some time. What stood out most to me in…
Keep readingCG Meetup: The Doll That Chose to Drive
The Doll That Chose to Drive is an intriguing short animation that serves to arouse attention to the gender division between toys typically meant for girls and boys. Why can’t a doll operate a fast car just like the boys? This film follows a female doll possessing that very thought-that she can play with whatever she wants. The doll jumps in one of the fastest cars she can find…
Keep readingCG Meetup: Fear of Flying
Fear of Flying stars Dugo, a petite bird who has a uniquely ironic fear of flying. It all starts with a nightmare. Dugo wakes up in his bed, and what follows is a series of events that causes him to begin preparing for winter. To a typical bird, preparing for winter would mean flying south or…
Keep readingMYM: Gracie
How can a second spent reminiscing about long-gone memories entrap a person in their mature age? The film Gracie captures the unique essence of the passage of time. Following the character, Gracie, an elderly Jamaican immigrant, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease, as she comes to terms with her situation. Grace lives in a nursing home and is frequently visited by her daughter and grandson, Aaron. As the story progresses, we learn Gracie is…
Keep readingCG Meetup: Playing House
The short, animated film, Playing House, captures the story of an innocent game of house. A little girl tucks her beloved doll into bed, dusts her makeshift cardboard house, and assembles a homemade meal from playdough. And a small boy watches her play her pretentious game, grabs some inedible food, and enters her cardboard house.…
Keep readingFilm School Shorts: Rosie, Oh, Hui Ying, and Shadow Beat [Final]
Rosie, Oh *content warning* This film’s style (one-shot filming) and the lead actress have single-handedly made me love this film. It was very cool to watch how all the different parts came together to tell this unique story. Hui Ying I really enjoyed this short; it was well-paced and visually impactful. It gave me Disney…
Keep readingFilm School Shorts: Salt and Sweet, Sweet Country
Salt *trigger warming* This was a well-crafted film. I could instantly feel the profound emotion with each scene; it was almost melodic in delivery. I thought the actors were great at their roles and nailed a bizarrely beautiful film. I am surprised the boy did not tell anyone sooner what he witnessed; I assume he wanted to have a moment to pay his respects to her. Not that she could have been saved, but her distraught family would have been able to grieve her loss much sooner. One of two things was troubling the girl. She was either mentally ill and lost in this altered reality, or two, she genuinely…
Keep readingFilm School Shorts: Bookends, Prom, and When We Were Young
Bookends This film is a must watch film because it has all the makings of a top-notch thriller. The anxiety that builds up while you are watching is palpable, until the particular moment when the short ends, and you are left inquiring what will happen next. Prom Based on a true story. Prom is a film that will leave you speechless. I’m sad the young man in the film didn’t go to his prom anyway, but I understand his reason why. Seeing your date out with another person is heartbreaking. Her parents were OK with the two of them studying together, but not with them extending their friendship beyond those…
Keep readingPromising Young Short Filmmakers
Without a doubt, the previous generations produced some of the most talented individuals ever seen. They paved the way for the more recent generations and created so many ample opportunities for them to showcase their creative talents in independent filmmaking. The following filmmakers should receive some praise:John Prince Wright is an Australian filmmaker, writer, director, and producer who has garnered recognition and popularity from a young age for his budding talents. In 2014, he received an award as the Young Australian Filmmaker of the Year and…
Keep readingMYM: War Has No Eyes
This is a well-crafted short film that attempts to bridge the gap between a young man’s religious expectations and his personal freedom. To me, “war has no eyes” means, there is more than one way to generate change in this world. The lead character, Mahmoud, is a young Muslim man living in the United Kingdom. The film highlights Mahmoud’s imperfections and his journey back to the roots of his Islamic faith with the help of his mentor. During…
Keep readingSFW Review: Alt. Life
This influential short film is rich in lessons for the current digital generation searching for online attention. The film follows the online interaction between two young adults who are attempting to reconnect through social media. The boy falsely represents himself on his profile as a health guru; measuring his likeness to a highly adept fitness king. But in reality, he is meek. He gorges on junk food and soda, which are far from healthy. He even goes to great lengths to buy tight-fitting clothes to show off his…
Keep readingSFW Review: Last Shot and Whale Heart
Last Shot by Aemilia Widodo Last Shot is a cute short film about a camera with a broken lens that, once animated, convinces his owner to appreciate the beauty in imperfection. Reasonably, when the owner first sees the damaged lens, throws the camera away. But instead of giving up hope, the camera responds by meticulously arranging an exquisite art piece, using only its newly altered images. This is all to prove a moral point: that happiness can only exist after we have achieved a sense of optimism. Whale Heart by The Animation…
Keep readingPBS Film School Shorts: Glory Days
This film really succeeded in stressing me out. My issue was with the sheer amount of irresponsibility on the father’s part. He leaves his young children standing in the middle of a crowded room of intoxicated people so that he can flirt. He lets his friend carry him down a path he knows he should…
Keep readingReel South Shorts: The Basin, Uniontown, and Signs [Final]
The Basin I love crawfish; thus, I love this film. The Basin follows two prominent crawfish farmers as they discuss climate change affecting their businesses and livelihoods. Uniontown I highly recommend watching this film. The film Uniontown strives to bring attention to the shady business practices of industrial companies. Namely, the pollution of low-income and…
Keep readingReel South Shorts: As In Death
As In Death This film was a bit macabre. However, I love the message being delivered… Do what you feel is right, regardless of the opposition. To many, Sidney Brodie’s steadfast determination to honor the children and young adults killed in Durham, North Carolina, by sewing their names into a quilt, is bordering on obsession.…
Keep readingVancouver Latin Film Festival
My Weaving Hands The film artistically describes the laborious process of making clothing for the street market from the seller’s perspective. The purpose of this film is to show tourists that while it feels natural to haggle a price, it, in turn, can signal to the seller that their work and time are undervalued. IXCH’UMIL…
Keep readingMonthly Wrap Up [#2]
Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well and getting some much-needed rest. August was an excellent month for short film festivals. I found a lot of good films to share with you guys, which felt very rewarding. Though films were not as emotionally charged as of July’s selection, each festival this month had its…
Keep readingPBS Film School Shorts: Lambing Season and A World for Raul
Lambing Season I honestly was not expecting to like this film as much as I did. Essentially, an American woman takes her significant other to meet her estranged father, whom she has not seen since her childhood. All she has is an old photograph, her ambition, and the hope that her father still remembers her.…

First Match A young female wrestler attempts to navigate her place on her all-male high school wrestling team in this film. The film tackles the topic of overcoming fundamental adolescent issues without embarrassment or ridicule. The film highlights the friction her gender has caused in her relationship with her father. He loves his daughter and…
Keep readingPBS Film School Shorts: Josephine and the Roach, Will, and Springtime
Josephine and the Roach *graphic scene* I immediately loved the ambiance of this film. It reminds me very much of the feature film Amelie. The film feels very Parisian, as in, it feels very romanticized and dreamlike. It is a unique film style that makes you feel good and uncomfortable simultaneously. The story is cute.…
Keep readingMelbourne International Film Festival: Your Street and The Echo
Your Street The film starts with the narrator wanting to establish a connection with the viewer. Showing the viewer that life has many commonalities regardless of who you are or where you live. You soon realize that the narrator is not talking about you, specifically, but through you to someone who resides on the other…
Keep readingG.I.F.T. Short Film Festival [14-15]: Miscommunication, Deeper, Normal Family, The Path, and The Perfect Teen [Final]
Miscommunication The main idea that stood out to me in this film was Destinee’s attentiveness to ending destructive family cycles. In her family, there is a lack of communication between her and her mother. After digging deeper into the dynamics of their relationship, Destinee discovers that the lack of understanding was not intentional but rather…
Keep readingSJWIFF: Glad You’re Here, The Onyx Butterfly, and MerB’ys [Final]
Glad You’re Here I adore this film. It’s a raw personal account of the main character’s life. She highlights the ups and downs of her marriage, her learning disability, her self-sacrifices, motherhood, and eventually her journey to find her purpose in life again after domestic abuse. A quote that stood out to me was, “I…
Keep readingSt. John’s Women’s International Film Festival: Tips and Journey of Possibilities
Tips This is an absolutely hilarious film. The lead actress did an excellent job, and I love the overall plot development. The film embodies what many waiters and waitresses wish they can do when they get a bad review. If not for it being socially unacceptable, they would hunt the person down and ask why.…
Keep readingG.I.F.T. Short Film Festival [16-18]: Fluid, Reflections, The Dancing Bears, and Get Lifted
Fluid This is a film about a girl’s honest conversation with herself and her family about her sexuality. Reflections This is such a good film. It is an exciting perspective on the filmmaker’s self-awareness. Though the film is a bit dim, it is a truthful representation of her views. I think the filmmaker did a…

Dear Alex A poetic film about a girl’s battle with the loss of her father: though it was not revealed if her father is still alive, it is apparent that he has been absent from her life for quite some time. You can sense her bitterness, as well as her hurt and anguish, due to…
Keep readingG.I.F.T. Short Film Festival [16-18]: Alkalize or Die, Annie Atighioyak (PANAK)’s Story, Derailed, and Eyes Behind The Frame
Alkalize or Die This was a fascinating experimental film about the significance of water. I was not expecting to appreciate this film style and its accentuation of blue. Annie Atighioyak (PANAK)’s Story Annie’s story is a rich testament to life as an elder in Canada’s Inuinnait community. In the film, you are given a glimpse…
Keep readingAAIFF: Ones To Watch Review
My Pumpkin, My Boo I enjoyed the comic quality of this film. A pumpkin and a ghost forge an unlikely friendship through a shared love of what candy represents to the world. My greatest takeaway from the film was the need to find acceptance by finding your purpose, and through this, you can achieve transcendence.…
Keep readingSFW Review: The Armoire, Feast on the Young, and Majora’s Mask-Terrible Fate
The Armoire This is one of the best horror short films I have seen in a while, due primarily to the film stringing critical film elements and creating some genuinely scary content. You can find the film here on SFW, and you can check out other films by ALTER on their YouTube channel. Feast on…
Keep readingAsian American International Film Festival: CUNY Short Showcase
Though not a massive selection of films this year, I thought what was submitted was excellent. One film that stood out to me, though, was Morkovcha. Morkovcha recounts what life was like for the filmmaker and her family growing up as Korean Russians in Uzbekistan, and how her culture and childhood had shaped her perspective…

Keep readingPBS Short Film Festival 2021 Review: A Call Away, Deadly Jails, and Without a Whisper [Final]
A Call Away Before watching this film, I had no clue there was a “failure to protect” law in the United States that punished parents for involuntary child abuse. Punishments for voluntary child abuse are understandable, but it becomes a sticky situation when your child is harmed under your care. This particular film attempts to…
Keep readingG.I.F.T. Short Film Festival [14-15]: Arthritis, Discovering Anxiety, and Isn’t It Good
Arthritis Arthritis follows the events leading up to Toccora, developing arthritis at such a young age. The film reflects on the failure of her school and city to remedy a simple public safety issue, one that has placed kids like herself in imminent danger. Toccora also emphasizes the importance of listening to one’s own body…

Crow Call and Response This girl did a fantastic job on her film. The 11-year old filmmaker was able to craft this film within the span of a week. She is undoubtedly going to grow up to do great things for the environment and filmmaking. History in The Making: Poem This is an artistic short…
Keep readingPBS Short Film Festival 2020/2021 Review: For Our Girls, Mothers for Justice, Learning to Breathe …
I like to relate these films to the video game, Detroit: Become Human, because common viewpoints can be discovered in each body of work. Such as the deviant robots in the video game feel trapped within their programming and pre-determined roles in society. As the game progresses, their quest for a better way of life…
Keep readingPBS Reel South: Station 15
When a New Orleans teen becomes curious about her neighborhood in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a journey ensues to find the answers to all of her questions. Through her investigation, Chasity discovers that the pipes in her area were not designed to manage large quantities of rainwater. During Hurricane Katrina, the city had installed…
Keep readingPBS The Latino Experience: Mi Fango, Mi Cerro [Episode 3]
This documentary follows a Puerto Rican artist, Chemi, on his artistic journey to reconstruct the appearance of his childhood neighborhood, El Cerro. I love the overall message of this film, which is the significance of community maintenance and restoration. By painting the houses green, Chemi gave the people of El Cerro the means to express…

Hi all, To wrap up July, I want to reflect on the past month’s activities while also laying out a plan for the months to come. Like I said earlier this month, we are diving into some heavy topics, as that seems to be the trend most film festivals this year are going in. But…
Keep readingPBS Short Film Festival 2020/2021 Review: Kapaemahu and We Gon’ Be Alright
Kapaemahu This film provides the foundation story of how the four boulders of Waikiki Beach in Hawaii came to be. These boulders, much like Mauna Kea from Standing Above the Clouds, have a rich history in the lives of the Hawaiian people. Unfortunately, unlike Mauna Kea, the story of the four boulders of Waikiki Beach…
Keep readingPBS Short Film Festival 2021 Review: Ta Hasso and Phony
Ta Hasso Ta Hasso is a film about a community outreach program based in Long Beach, California, and its commitment to operate throughout the pandemic with regular zoom meetings. What I enjoy most about this film is its attention to the importance of human interaction. Covid-19 was unexpected but that does not mean that we…
Keep readingPBS Short Film Festival 2021 Review: Stacey Holloway, Coup d’Etat Math, and Story of Your Life
Stacey Holloway I will confess, it was tricky for me to look past the silicone body parts… Ultimately, I decided to give more consideration to what was most important, and that is the artist’s vision. It is easy to look at this short film and focus on the unusual aspects of it, but I really…
Keep readingSFW Review: Ringling College
If you want to learn more about making a career in graphic design or filmmaking, I would suggest checking out Ringling College’s degree programs. Though I have only had the opportunity to look at the school’s published student film projects, the quality of work coming out of their creative arts department is high caliber, which speaks highly…
Keep readingSFW Review: Aftermath and Take Me
Aftermath A tale of two brothers who are forced to care for themselves in the frigid backcountry. While the eldest brother understands the never-ending dangers associated with survival, the younger brother is a little slow to learn. Unfortunately, when the younger brother does finally learn this lesson, it is too late. The main theme I…
Keep readingSFW Review: Missing and Lili
Missing This is an absolutely beautiful film that has a dark underbelly. As viewers, we are on this journey with a father that has lost his son. I am guessing the boy went missing while he was in the woods, and the father decides to go searching for him. As the film progresses, you slowly…
Keep readingPBS Short Film Festival 2021 Review: Highway Mike, Chef Steven, and Atomic Nancy
Highway Mike is an incredibly difficult film to watch. I love the service that Mike does for his community as an outreach worker, but it is still heartbreaking to know that he must do this type of work. In the film, Mike explains to the camera crew that he typically walks along the highways near Washington…

Hi all, Here is a list of short films from PBS Short Film Festival 2019, I found noteworthy: The Moon and The Night- This is an emotional film; it is natural to become invested in the sweet friendship between the girl and her dog. Heroine of Hope- This is a warm and powerful documentary about…
Keep readingPBS Short Film Festival 2020 Review: Standing Above the Clouds, In This Family, and Happy Hounds
Standing Above the Clouds I became aware of the situation at Mauna Kea after seeing several posts about the mountain on social media. Mauna Kea is a tricky one. It goes right in line with Bears Ears in Utah and the Keystone Pipeline in Canada. Mauna Kea is a rich historical authority in Hawaiian heritage…

Keep readingSFW Review: Real Talk
After watching Real Talk, it is easy to sympathize with the victim. She calls out her abuser live on television, and you would expect that he would have been ridiculed, but he slithers his way out of the accusations with ease. He charms the host with a tale of woe; he captivates the audience with…
Keep readingSFW Review: Woman in Stall: A Theory
Now, here is my theory. The film is supposed to simulate all facets of torment that women may feel in public, as well as touching on certain elements of gender stereotypes. The man in the film has the woman cornered in the stall, trying to make small talk. He knows that he is being socially…
Keep readingSFW Review: Woman in Stall by Madeleine Sims Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli
I really do not know how to feel about this film. It’s real; its horror, and it’s traumatic. The main character (the woman) handles the tricky situation of sexual harassment wonderfully. The crazy part about this film is how sick the man’s behavior is towards the main character. He is at a business establishment, and…
Keep readingSFW Review: Meet Jimmy by David-Jan Bronsgeest
This was a ride of a film; I loved it. It was a sensory experience that left me on the edge of my seat. As a viewer, I was taken on a vicarious journey along with the main character, as she listens to an occult-style podcast. The stage is set for a spooky interview with…
Keep readingSFW Review: Can You Hear Me Now?
What stood out most to me with this short film is that it showed a different perspective on an otherwise prolific global issue. The narrator spoke about how he felt stuck in this impossible situation and had no opportunities to achieve his ambitions. What I like the most about this film is how the tone…
Keep readingSFW Review: Shattered by Suyoung Jang
What I gathered from this short film are the different metaphorical interpretations of where this preferential treatment may be taking place, but the gist of it is, men and women are cut from the same cloth; they are made in the same way (given the factory setting); the only noticeable difference is that once an…
Keep readingSFW Review: Coin Operated-Two Ghosts
Coin Operated is maybe one of the most nostalgic yet playful short films ever made. Nicholas Arioli, the director of Coin Operated, has done a great job representing the life experiences from childhood till old age in barely five minutes. The short film opens with the representation of a space shuttle roaming around the sky,…
Keep readingSFW Review: Princess Rita
My takeaway from the film was the main character’s profound disconnect from the natural world – to the point that he starts to create an imaginary world where he is in a long-term relationship with a woman named Rita. Rita may be a real person, but the authenticity of his relationship with her is not.…
Keep readingSFW Review: Stand
Stand is such an exciting film because it is very much a psychological horror. If you have ever suffered from sleep paralysis or parasomnia, I think it will be easier to relate to the main character’s struggle. The comparison to sleep paralysis may not be what the director was going for, but that is how…
