dependent films has made a lot of interesting, quirky, and humourous short movies. the newest is - how to sprain your wrist: without even trying.

be sure to check out the video section for more downloadable short films.

i love how the web allows people to exercise creativity. any other film artists out there?

Though I'm gonna get flamed for it, I thought I'd point the finger toward my own cinematic efforts. Click on the films link (top, center) and go to town - you'll need to download the files, and them watch em' with real player. If you're on a dialup connection, don't bother wasting your time.

Which, is kind of a pain in the ass. Anyone know of a way to convert realvideo files to QuickTime?

And as BWG specifically asked, this isn't really a self link (though it clearly is). Don't go yelling at me for violating the rules.

Here goes another (sort of) self link: How's Your News, a documentary directed by a friend of mine named Arthur Bradford. I call it a self link as I helped with the website.

In Arthur's words, How's Your News is "is a documentary movie which features a team of five news reporters with mental and physical disabilities. We all met at a summer camp for people with disabilities in Massachusetts. To make this movie we drove across America in a hand-painted RV, interviewing the people we met along the way....."

Not a web-movie, I realize, but definitely work checking out--unlike any documentary I've ever seen.

Well, this thread begs for self-linking.

I made a 10 second, 300k movie called REPEAT="TRUE" that people seem to like.
