Good 10 minute short films/art/theatre? I'm looking for inspiration... desperately... and I would appreciate some help. (hexbear.net)

Hello all.

I won a bursary to write and produce a very small budget 5-10 minute film. I pitched an idea to them, but I've realised that I'm not sure how viable the scope of my idea was - it was overambitious from me.

The people who gave me the bursary are fine with me doing anything sort of relevant to my pitch, but that would be overcomplicating things to get all of you in on the details.

I was so excited to do it, but now I'm slightly anxious about what I'm going to do.

Anyone got some good short-short films to share? I'm open to anything, but the vibe is 'serious/activist' I suppose. I do like comedy though. I'm much more comfortable writing comedy, really. Or something arthousey.

Peluca was a student film that became the full length feature "Napoleon Dynamite".

In Opera there are a few pieces.

Maria and Draco from FF VI (melodrama/tragedy)

Bach's Coffee Cantata (comedy)

Most 1 acters are 20-45 min long though

Very interesting, thanks. Hopefully there's some good recordings of them bobbing about online

First one to pop in mind: Wind (3:49)

Activism related, this trailer for the Japanese movie Death By Hanging left a mark on me for its pacing and sense of urgency.

Brilliant, thanks.

Boy I miss when trailers werent just orchestral remixes of pop songs with every single important moment in the movie overlaid.
