    Other than meaningless shots on a beach during golden hour, are their any other overused short film tropes you've noticed?

    Does a short film need a whole 3 act structure, with complete character arcs that undergo a profound change?

    And this my dear friends is why I love the New Yorker. These little shorts put outmacking humour out of the mundane. In the magazine, my favourite thing is the Shouts & Murmurs section: I even sent a piece to them, but it was declined.

    It is a shame that the New Yorker laid off the entire film department in December 2023. They did it for "budget" reasons.

    This is so interesting! The fact that there was meta meta-ing of short films. Its a interesting point of view. I'm not one for watching a lot of movies but I do enjoy a short film, but its so rare to hear about them in general. Traditional Hollywood really does have a grasp on the film industry as a whole, doesn't it? Interesting. It's a little how I feel about the music industry and the ability to be your own version of creative while still under a label, let alone to be found by a label with so many talented people out there.

    Bravo! Well thought out and surreptitiously brilliant! Having attended many indie and "mainstream" film festivals, this would rate much higher than the vast majority. And, for myself, this leads to several other topics which could also be educationally humorous! Perfect casting too. And just out of curiosity, I didn't bother to study the credits, so could you tell me how many people it took to produce this gem?

    Short films are like the R&D of the film world. Yet you never see short films from the major players of today unless its a commercial. And the costs of making one are still quite high.

    Artist Marcel Duchamp talked of "fighting the religion of art". What is being shown here is "the language of the cult of films". It is this kind of thinking that is bringing about the demise of film narrative as an artform, leaving the door open to AI content replacing "art". Movies were the Industrial Age and we're now in the Information Age. Time to adapt, which the last actor's strike failed to address.
