Short films are how many great filmmakers get their start in Hollywood, and yet they are often curiously hard to find. A few streaming services, like the new indie-focused IVOX+, put short films front and center with the rest of their offerings, but in general interested viewers have to dig deep to find the good ones online.
为了帮助您进行搜索,这里有来自目前可用于流的湾区的九个电影制片人的作品:
“作家的街区”(2016年)
在制作电影之前,必须有一个脚本。编写它比您想象的要艰难得多。海沃德本地人蒂姆·莫里尔(Tim Morrill)在“作家的障碍”中说明了这一挑战。
这部电影围绕着一位苦苦挣扎的作家(Vincent Gabrielson)努力遇到一个有电影意识的黑帮的截止日期,该黑帮希望在早晨在“ Battlestar Galactica”的静脉下进行新电影。不幸的是,他受到作家的街区的困扰和一个兄弟式,艰苦的,半裸的室友(Aaron Bollwinkel),直到他沦落为在浴室里用剃须膏在镜子上写下想法。
这是对非各地的魔术世界制作世界的搞笑。

“男人最好的朋友”(2010年)
如今,旧金山总监蒂莫西·普林(Timothy Plain)专注于Nintendo和NBA等大型客户的网络视频。然而,在此之前,他制作了一部关于一个男人(罗布·史密斯)的奇怪的黑暗喜剧,他爱他的狗太多了。
这是一个非常令人不安的短片,最后一个令人惊叹的,刻板的笑话。如果您能忍受怪异,那个笑话就可以很好地回报。

“嫁给我”(2014年)
虽然现在位于曼谷Apichate Taninratapatis one of the many directors who cut their teeth at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. “Marry Me” is all about a proposal gone wrong when a woman (Lea Krüger) accidentally swallows the ring meant for a marriage proposal.
一半的运行时间涉及她不幸的未婚夫(Stephen Laferriere),试图用慢速运动盘用煎锅从她身上拿出珠宝,然后用灯击中她的肚子。让简短成为我们所有人试图过分戏剧性和聪明的教训。

‘Brain in the Desert’ (1990)
当您想到尝试短片电影时,像旧金山著名的奥斯卡提名短片制片人这样的人Jay Rosenblatt可能想到。他的作品常常像梦幻般而怪异。
他的电影《沙漠中的大脑》甚至被称为荣誉中的海市rage楼。简短是一个关于一个年轻人的叙述性作品,他回想起与女友在沙漠中行走,观察到怪异的昆虫以及他们奇怪的行为与人类的性行为如何相关。Fandor实际上拥有Rosenblatt的所有电影作品,但“沙漠中的大脑”是一个不错的起点。

“乌米的心”(2008)
这部电影现在以由湾区主演的土著马哈尔哈拉·阿里(Mahershala Ali)在好莱坞获得杰出声誉而闻名,但这也是由加州大学伯克利分校伯克利·艾伦纳·乔斯林·罗斯·里昂斯(UC Berkeley Alumna Joslyn Rose Lyons)引导的令人着迷的短片。
Ali stars as Ezra, a Christian theologian who is trying to reason his brother out of a recent conversion to Islam. Despite a powerful command of scripture, Ezra is unable to open his mind and see more than his own narrow interpretation of God. It’s a pretty heavy short, especially for one that starts over an argument about getting the wrong pizza delivered.

“暗黑破坏神”(2016)
Paula Saslow, of Bay Area company Copper Rose Films, directed this gripping tale of cyclical violence. A day laborer named Angel (Xavier Galindo) discovers a briefcase full of blood money while working on a job. Initially, he doesn’t want anything to do with it or the money’s probable owner, a vicious gangster known as Diablo (Karl J. Arana), but after hearing of Diablo’s atrocities Angel decides to set a trap.
The setting on a dig site is brutal, as are the lives of its characters, but there is a grain of heroism and hope that makes the film feel transcendent.

Jon V. Peters and Bay Area company Athena Studios brought to life this charming and enchanting stop-motion tale about mermaids on Mars.

“哈德斯的人”(2007年)
San Francisco Film School graduate Brandon Hamilton directed and starred in the bizarre but intriguing noir pastiche “The Man From Hades.” Jack Orpheus (Hamilton) is a private eye who has left the gangster life behind only to get dragged back in by, what else, a dame (Camelia Dee).
不过,这不是一个典型的硬箱故事。取而代之的是,玩家是涉及收获灵魂的黑社会计划的一部分。“ Hades”精美地拍摄,并有了一些辉煌的曲折,是短裤如何采用一个怪异的想法并与它一起运行以使真正独特的事物的一个很好的例子。
