›› Short Film Showcase - Gay Shorts A to Z ‹‹
Folk know that I just love the short film medium. Only just what is a film short? Well for many a first time director, producer, together with cast and crew, it’s a brilliant opportunity at professional filmmaking and the ideal means by which to home in on their craft in a self-contained story. For others however, it’s more than that. Namely a teaser taster of what could be, should funding be secured to develop their work into feature length duration and here cue such noted short to feature conversions as Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, Dare and Just One Time, to name but three.
Yet what all have in common is a fear of the void, given so many short films tragically come close to, if not disappear altogether in the cinematic void, never to be seen again. This in spite of the good folk at Peccadillo Pictures and other major film distributors tapping into this medium to deliver a series of critically acclaimed gay and lesbian short film DVD compilations. Other directors however escape the void, by airing their works on such mediums as YouTube, namely the perfect platform by which to showcase your talents on a worldwide stage.
Gay Celluloid is only too happy to promote the short film medium. Indeed for those in the trade reading this, short screeners are always welcome. Simply email me direct at: dave@gaycelluloid.com for further details.
In the meantime, presented below is a complete record of every gay short film review written to date, as Gay Celluloid takes pride in presenting its Short Film Showcase, including many a freeview, trailer and / or promotional clip. As they say in Hollywood - promotion always!
And as is obvious, here a BIG thank you goes to all respective parties for letting their works freeview for the benefit of the gay community, together with those interested in the short film medium at large. Note: YouTube links may expire without notice. No copyright infringement intended.
More reviews - coming soon.
