Hey everyone!

As we approach the last days of September, we are getting ready to reward one filmmaker with $1000 for winning our monthly online film contest, War of Films.

This Week’s Highlights:

Featured Film

What would you do to get to your house as soon possible? Get on a bike? Ride a horse? Jump in a car? What if your bike's breaks don't work, your horse abandons you, and your car breaks down? Sorry I’m Late is a short animated film about a guy who has to overcome a series of difficulties before he can get to his house. This highly imaginative, colorful film by Tomas Mankovsky was shot with a still camera attached to a ceiling. Everything can go wrong when you are in a hurry, but nothing can stop you from getting to your destination!

Featured Web TV

The Mix-Up TV presents a brand new mockumentary, The Remy Burbee Mix-Up by Alex Cress, about an actor who thinks he is being nominated for an Oscar. This short film is a great parody of the entertainment industry and its current state. You can also watch behind the scenes videos, footage from the film’s release party, and more.
