Today, on the Cinema Flow Podcast, I have gathered two dear friends (Roy Farrell and Atif Sheikh) to watch five of my favorite short films. We’re going to review the shorts and discuss them from a directorial perspective.

 

If there are any aspiring filmmakers out there, you can learn a lot from these films. Most of the directors who made these movies produced them for very low budgets.

 

All of the films are available to watch online. Links to watch them are down below.

 

Even if you’re not a filmmaker, I highly encourage you to watch these films as you listen along to the podcast. They’re all great films in my opinion.
