Let's face it: it's a cold, cruel world out there for aspiring filmmakers, who usually have to endure an endless array of struggles to realize their creative vision. The process can made a little bit easier thanks to Film Riot, a filmmaking how-to video channel with the burgeoning and broke movie mogul in mind. Whether they are talking through various methods involved in filmmaking or giving their feedback on the latest technical equipment, Film Riot is devoted to informing the viewer of how close they can get in emulating big budget, Hollywood techniques. It is said that those who can't do teach, but Film Riot does both, as they have also just released their latest short film, "Proximity." Check out a few of their helpful videos, and "Proximity," below. Actor and producer Todd Bruno gives a rundown of advice on how to find actors for your movie. Whether you are...

"We're in the same boat, man!" To follow up all the Sundance announcements, here is a very cool action-thriller short film titled Proximity, or spelled PROXiMITY in the short, directed by up-and-comer Ryan Connolly (@ryan_connolly). The concept is key here, and it's all about messing with your mind as they're messing with the characters' minds. There's a good twist at the end and more than anything it's just a well done, super low budget little short showcasing the talent of Connolly and his cast/crew. He says there are over 50 VFX shots in the short, but you can barely tell. View the 11-min film in full and get more info below. Proximity is directed, shot and edited by Ryan Connolly, creator and host of Film Riot & Film State and now filmmaker. The script was written by Ryan Connolly and Seth Worley. The cast includes Todd Bruno, Josh Connolly and...

HazMat (2013)
Starring: Norbert Velez, Todd Bruno, Aniela McGuinness
Writer & Director: Lou Simon
Story:
Scary Antics is one of those hidden camera shows, where people walk around darkly lit buildings, unknowing that they are on camera, looking ridiculous. For a special episode, a group of friends take their messed up buddy Jacob to an abandoned chemical factory where his father died. Seems like a sound idea, right? Especially since he believes the place is haunted. The Scary Antics Crew and Jacob’s friends are having a good ole time until an accident occurs. Next thing you know, they’re trapped inside being hunted by a fiercely sprinting maniac with an ax in a hazmat suit.
Thoughts:
I have to give props where they are due; the hidden camera aspect of HazMat felt damn near identical to the type of shows Scary Antics is emulating. Most of the people on those kinds of programs are super annoying,...

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Lou Simon. **a few minor spoilers here. Director/writer: Lou Simon. Cast: Norbert Velez, Todd Bruno, Aniela McGuinness, Giordan Diaz, Tom Stedham, Gema Calero, Reggie Peters and Daniela Larez. Hazmat is the second horror film from director and writer Lou Simon. Her latest, which is set to premiere at the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival August 16th, follows some of the formulas of a slasher film. A character is set up in a prank and the results are a little bloodier than expected. Simon develops the characters in the film before the action takes place. But, some of the scenes come across as awkward. The blood and gore is prolific as Simon hones her skills in the horror genre. The film's story is a simple set-up. A film crew, who work on the show "Scare Antics," are set to prank,...

A few years ago, I came across a Revision3 show called Film Riot. It is a show all about Diy filmmaking and is hosted by Ryan Connolly. The show covers everything from lighting and sound to special effects and editing. If you want to make a film on a budget, check out the show. Back in May, Ryan released his short film Tell on YouTube. It is a horror-thriller inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart and it is awesome! At the same time, he started taking pre-orders for the DVD and Blu-ray. I was lucky enough to get my order in before they sold out and I got my copy just in time for the weekend.
Firstly, it was nice to watch the movie in full HD on my television instead of compressed through YouTube. It is a brilliantly shot movie with some very impressive camera work.

The German Short Film. Nick Ryan‘s The German (2008) short film stars Toby Kebbell, Christian Brassington, Glenn Mullins, Gary Murphy, and David Ryan. The German‘s plot synopsis: “November 1940, during the greatest conflict man has ever known, an epic duel unfolds between two ace pilots, each willing to take the match to it’s ultimate conclusion. Unknown to the pilots is a fate neither has considered.”
This short film immediately reminded me of the Paths of Hate (2010) short film. Since The German came out before that short film, perhaps it inspired it. Paths of Hate is far better though in my opinion, but The German has a better ending.
The German is a testament to the level of work being done in the short film format these days.
Watch The German short film below and leave your thoughts on it in the comments section. For more short films, visit our Short Film Page.
