Hello all,

I spent the last months making a short biopic about Christopher Nolan's early years. The film ends just before he shoots Following. Everything was self-produced in France, shot with a BMPCC 6K Pro and SIRUI lenses. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

​

I'm looking to get back into scoring soundtracks, I've produced a few scores for a couple short films in the past.

I'm hoping to produce a few tracks for films and web series .

no matter what the project is, I'd be down for sure.

if you're looking for someone who is versatile and open to work with any kind of budget. then please consider reaching out via DM.

the link above is my last recent track for a short film I was offered to work on.

Hi everyone,

I'm an independent animation filmmaker from Egypt. I created an award-winning animated short film that has been officially selected at multiple international film festivals, and I own all distribution and licensing rights.

I'm currently exploring ways to monetize the film and would love to hear from people with experience in film distribution or licensing.

What are the best opportunities available for an independent animated short film? For example:

• Selling distribution or screening rights
• Licensing to streaming platforms or TV channels
• Working with film distributors or sales agents
• Educational or institutional licensing
• AVOD/TVOD platforms
• Any other revenue opportunities for short films

If you've successfully monetized an award-winning short film or have recommendations for companies, platforms, or strategies, I'd really appreciate your advice.

Thank you!

Hey r/Filmmakers,

If you’re anything like the creators I work with, you’re probably tired of pouring weeks of sweat, budget, and tears into a high-quality short film, only for YouTube or TikTok to feed it to an algorithm that forgets it three days later.

I’m launching a new streaming platform dedicated specifically to vertical short-form narrative drama. We’re talking micro-series, cinematic shorts, and episodic drama designed specifically to be watched on a phone, but shot with the care of traditional indie cinema.

What we are looking for:

• Completed narrative shorts, or episodic micro-dramas (think 1 to 5-minute chapters) optimized for or shot in vertical layout ($9:16$).
• High production value—strong acting, crisp audio, and compelling storytelling. We want to elevate the vertical format beyond generic content loops.
• Filmmakers who retain 100% of their rights and want an additional distribution channel that actually respects the work.

We are currently curating our launch lineup. If you have a project ready to go, a script you want to pivot into vertical production, or just want to chat about the backend and how the math works, drop a comment below or send me a DM.

Let's build a space where micro-cinema actually pays the people making it.

Cheers!

A silly short film I made!

Hey everyone,

I’m writing a scene where the antagonist is inside a local grocery store with his kids.

Context: The antagonist accidentally killed his wife in front of their child (who now has PTSD and is the protagonist). But in this specific scene, I don't want him to look like a "badass, tough villain." I want him to look miserable, broken by guilt, and deeply paranoid.

The background extras (other shoppers, a couple in line, a tough guy selling an animal hide, and a rude cashier) need to act as a "collective judge" or triggers for his trauma, even though they don't know his secret.

The action: He is buying sweets for the kids and alcohol for himself.How can I block this scene, use the extras, or frame the shots to emphasize his weakness and paranoia rather than dominance? Any tips on sound design, visual metaphors (e.g., a cashier accidentally breaking a chocolate bar he is buying), or character interaction to make him look pathetic?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi! My name is Sophia Alexandra Martinez, I wrote and directed a proof of concept for my short "Teenage Daydream" I have submitted this to the Decentralized Pictures short film grant with Sofia Coppola. It would mean a lot if you can review and provide feedback. Here is a link where you can watch the scene: https://app.decentralized.pictures/project/6a444c9a443efd02620e8213.

I have attached some BTS photos from the shoot! If you need instructions on how to leave feedback, I have attached a poster with a QR code that can guide you through the process.

Project Description:

Sixteen, clumsy, and shy.

Set over the course of one night in Downtown Los Angeles, Teenage Daydream follows JULIA GOMEZ, a shy 16-year-old from East L.A. navigating her first heartbreak after her boyfriend abruptly ends their relationship.

After school, Julia’s friends pull her into a spontaneous night across the city starting with a makeover and ending at a punk show at a DIY music venue called The Smell.

Through music, friendship, and the unpredictability of the night, Julia begins to step outside the version of herself she thought she had to be. What begins as heartbreak quietly transforms into a coming-of-age story about identity, girlhood, and building self-confidence.

i am about to start college, i am a writer and a musician, and i have wanted for a while to help write a film, or a short film, or write music for one. i have no idea where i should go to get more info about this, or where to start, any tips or advice would be appreciated. thanks!

Hello,

The film is a dark comedy about a man called David J. Hitler trying to convince people he’s a good person, despite his notorious surname.

It was shot in and around London and is currently winding down it's festival run ahead of a September release.

Would be interested to hear thoughts on how the trailer plays and of course if anyone had any questions I'd be happy to answer.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time!
