I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. I have to say short films are some of my favorites. I have a hard time staying awake through full length movies. It can take me a few nights to get through a movie. If I sit down or lay down I kind of just fall asleep. Nic laughs at me because sometimes I don’t even get through the previews before I am out. Short movies are the best bet for me. They tell a whole story quickly and you can find loads of them on YouTube and Vimeo. Here is a brilliant one I found the other day.

Also, because this is a music blog. Here is a zombie video.

I love short films!
Have you seen the video for Sigur Rós's “Viðrar vel til loftárása?” It may be “just” a music video, but it's also an amazing short film. I mean, it has a narrative and tells a story; it's not just images to go with the song. It's my favorite LGBT-themed short film.

“Also, because this is a music blog. Here is a zombie video.” Always fun to watch over a bowl of noodles. Gee thanks 😉
The film was nifty. Weird, but nifty.
LB, yours was good, too! Both were excellent watching.
Peace <3

Short films are great. Sometimes you just don't want to watch a whole movie. And you can tell a lot in a small amount of time.
Sleeping Dogs Lie is one of my favorites.

Haven't been able to find it online though. If you have DVD Netflix you should still be able to get it, but I switched to streaming only, and you can't stream it. Probably a torrent out there somewhere for it too. If you can find it, it's worth checking out. Starring Brad Wilk, drummer for Rage Against The Machine, and Ed Asner.
The zombie video kind of reminded me of the video for Scream by The Misfits a bit. Interesting ending though.

Thanks for this Lightning! I'd seen it years ago, but forgot about it and couldn't remember what it was called.

Hello David
I liked the short film more than the song, but both were interesting. I used to have a reputation with my friends of falling asleep during films, too, but that was usually because I was trying to watch them at around 2:00 in the morning after having been awake for about 20 hours, and drinking too much beer!
