Fifth Column Films

SHORTS

Short films are an indie mainstay for a reason. For ease of production, cost, schedule questions, often a short film is a much simpler answer than a feature. Some stories don’t take 90 minutes to tell and with internet distribution the five to ten minute film is entering the public consciousness in new ways. A short film can also be useful as a fundraising tool for a feature, whether of the same story extended or of a different piece by the same production team. There is no limit to the number of short film festivals and the networking opportunities that come with them. All it takes is five fun minutes and you’re on your way.

Below are a few shorts by Fifth Column Films and our friends.

When Axel goes to visit Ryan to pick up a bag of pot, he is badgered, cajoled, searched and suspected for his effort.
