One of the reasons I started up this blogamajig is to take a closer look at some of the great genre short films you can find online. Short form productions, while becoming more and more popular due to the rising Youtube Generation and the falling attention span, are not nearly as lauded as their feature film counterparts. I know a lot of that is economics risk/return and all that, and its sad their isn’t a larger market for them.

Especially since I don’t plan on jumping into a large scale production for at least 10 months (Bar Exam), I find it nice to keep thinking about what makes these movies so darn neat. I want to try and focus specifically on what has become known as “genre” films, ie give me the horror comedies, the superheroes, scifi, apocalypse stories, etc. How the situations, characters, and plot work within the time constraints is fascinating.
