The International One Minute Film Festival

Post by Homer »

The first minute of a horror film that deserves to be made:




Two years ago someone encouraged then collected 1 minute movies into a you tube channel. Except for the above, they're all fully contained stories.

Thanks for that link, Homer. I've since gone on to watch a lot more, and there's a great one with a young girl getting her lollipop nicked (I'll say no more). I teach a creative writing course, and these short films will be perfect for getting the students to write a narrative of the film.

Thanks again :cheers:

^ VS.....why not start a thread on here to see who can write something good? Limit the word count and subject matter as you wish. It could even be a good idea to give the same assignment and completion time on here that you give to your students. :D

Perhaps no one will bite...but we could get to read some good stories. Old people and beach sun worshipers with IPads and time on their hands and all that.... :laugh: Pete :cheers:

I love scary two sentence stories.
