soiled shorts™

The idea of shorts films, especially animated, is to grab your attention and hopefully make some lasting impression (laughing, crying, hurling, take your pick).

Canada was, and is still trying to be, the last bastion of the creative force for the animated short film. The National Film Board of Canada was the leader from the early 1960’s (when they were bringing in animators and filmmakers from all over the world to produce their films) up until the 1990’s. The high water mark was the during the 1980’s when Cordell Barker (The Cat Came Back) and Richard Condie (The Big Snit) really set the tone of what the animated short could do.

Soiled Shorts is the 21st century embodiment of those films. Take a simple idea and make it into a short film.
