Seeking Superhero Shorts for an Anthology

(Non-Union Only)

I'm an independent filmmaker seeking to assemble a feature length anthology from existing short films. The common theme I'm seeking is that they all exist in a world of Superheros and that they are comedic or at least light-hearted. Submissions should be no shorter then 5 minute and no longer then 20 minutes.
I have distribution contacts and the final goal will be to create a feature which can be submitted to Netflix, iTunes and Hulu. All filmmakers will be entitled to a share of the profits.
Please respond with any samples of your film which you may have.
