Coffee Shorts

Coffee Shorts is a short film production company site that works with interesting independent film talent that produces short film which can be deeply scary or have very serious narratives which they believe is to the same standard as their cinema rivals. These could be a range of different short types such as music video, animation and comedy all three of which I will be looking at into a little more detail. As well as these shorts they produce experimental/ avant garde films, documentaries and dramas. On this site it advertises short film as well as promoting the different film directors/ producers that have created the films and enables aspiring filmmakers to put their work on to the site vie MySpace and facebook. Coffee shorts also have connections with different film festivals and will nominate work if they feel it has great potential to win an award. The films can be viewn on coffee shorts website and are very experimental and unusual.

They combine music and film also known as a music video however believe that it could be no where as experimental or creative as an individual scene which can make for some very cool music videos and short films on indie musicians. They only select and merge the music and filmmaking together which are interesting and a pleasure to watch.

Coffee Shorts also do independent documentaries and feel that short film are engaging, being forced to condense can help to make a complex message all the more powerful, or opens exploration of minutiae and details that could never fill an hour of television. However coffee shorts produces documentary’s on undercover stories that no one has yet to hear of or have but are not interested in it and look and buried events.

Animation is what makes real indie short film have the success that it does. They have managed to do little effort on the web for one of the few creative independent video arts. Animation is the imagination that has been put onto the big screen without having any restrictions. It usually focuses on strange and interesting pathways and is set in places that are funny, dark and horrific, combining that whole idea of a Childs love for cartoons.

Comedy shorts are a huge success and it is no wonder as these endless amounts sketchers and short stories performed by fresh new talent from all parts of the world are so funny. As an audience you will not get bored or get tiered of hearing a joke which you have once heard before. Some would say comedy shorts are this successful because they don’t have to conform to the typical codes and conventions that would need to be meet for TV broadcast.
