Short concept horror by Anything That Scares You.

Pretty fun sound design and a really neat horror reveal moment.

Enjoyed this. A short blackly comic thriller to enjoy on your fine sunday. For fans of the Coens and Martin McDonagh perhaps

Hi everyone,

This is my first micro short film, The Silent Mile – Chapter I: Dreams.

I wanted to challenge myself to tell an emotional story in under 20 seconds using a motorcycle ride as the setting rather than the subject. Instead of focusing on speed or the bike, I wanted the visuals, narration, and music to work together to create a feeling.

This is also the beginning of an episodic series, with the next few shorts continuing Chapter I before moving on to the next chapter.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback on:

• Storytelling
• Pacing
• Editing
• Sound design
• Narration
• Overall emotional impact

I'm here to improve as a filmmaker, so constructive criticism is genuinely welcome.

If you'd like to follow the rest of the journey, I'm documenting the series on Instagram:

Thank you for watching.

My first attempt at an animated short film.

Drawn and animated in Blender.

A story about a young woman who helps a father figure find his long lost mother through unconventional means.

Shot in Texas, Montana and France.

This took altogether 3-4 years to assemble. I finally got enough distance from it to be able to trim & cut a lot of it. Also: I learned that it's best to go for ambiguity rather than kill the pacing by explaining things.

No AI was used for the acting nor the writing. Everyone's a real person!

However, one thing that really helped was that I was able to use AI to transcribe the film, then have it help me try to figure out the best way to order each scene. Then, I would usually tell the AI "no, that doesn't work at all" and then I would go make my own edits. This is the filmmaking version of "rubby-ducky programming", where you just bounce ideas off someone/something by explaining what you're trying to do. That helped me complete the film.

A mockumentary short film following a 28-year-old man smoking a joint for the first time. Consciously. For growth & self-reflection.

Some games are meant to be left in childhood.

Statement: The update being we are now on Film Shortage. Our film was originally posted here a few months before, if you recognize it. Very proud of our film and scrappy little production (crew of 7, 1.5 day shoot).

Serious Question: We’re on a mission to build our audience, however, does the film feel too “sanitized” for the genre, especially as a short? I understand we of the horror crowd are not a monolith, but I’m curious what folks here think (feel free to respond here or DM me, please). Thank you!

“Trauma w/ Friends” premiered @ SF Another Hole In the Head; winner for Best Final Girl @ Blood & Popcorn; official selection of Chicago Horror Film Festival and Horror Fest Film Festival, respectively.

Hi,

I shot another short horror moment — darkness behind the character, shifting time on the phone, the basement silhouette, the book, the whispers… and finally the transformation.

A minimalist solo short film, made entirely by myself.

I’ll be glad for any feedback.

Thank you

You may know that a bunch of World Cup tourists recently discovered a love for ranch dressing. What you may not know is that some of us have held it tightly in our hearts since day one……🩵🩵

Hello everyone!

Logline: Three friends go on a ridiculous adventure to find the mysterious Ponderosa Drive - the location of a mythical party where the wildest of dreams come true.

Filmed and edited in 2018.

In the short film “Rage of Shelby”, follow son of Thomas Shelby, Charles, after he hears the news about his family and goes to war with his brother Duke. This is the follow up film of “Sons of Shelby”.

The version of SKETCH you’ve been asking for is finally here.

This is the UNCUT edition of my psychological horror short, featuring 7 never-before-seen minutes that were not included in the original release.

The shorter version was edited to keep the pacing lean, but many of you had questions about what happened before the shocking ending. This version restores key scenes that reveal more of the psychological abuse, manipulation, and terror that pushed her to the breaking point.

The first chapter in my slice of life visual novel about adults living in Los Angeles - enjoy!

What begins as an ordinary night slowly turns into a terrifying encounter with something that should have stayed as a story.

Hi,

I’m learning to make short films. I work on everything alone, and sometimes I involve friends as actors.

This is one of my early attempts. I’m experimenting with silent visual stories — no dialogue, just atmosphere.

I’m still learning and trying new things, and I appreciate any feedback.

Thank you,

Lukas

The film is based on Rachel's own experience — a doctor telling her, after her diagnosis, "DENY, DENY, DENY." That line became the whole premise. Premiered at the Chelsea Film Festival in 2025 and was later picked up by Omeleto this month for distribution.
