A short film about God, cookies and a little man named Melvin.

(2013) Directed by Mike Smale

Cookies are life. Cookies are death. Eat more cookies to feel the love of God, the fat is His way of hugging you. A short movie that satires art films that take themselves far too seriously and try too hard to be poignant or to make social commentary that is hidden beneath unnecessary metaphor

Oral

A couple has a falling out on their anniversary, filmed in extreme closeup.

(2015) Directed by Ty Ueda

After a few years of their relationship, a couple's romance has started to go a little flat. While one partner is totally unaware of the failing points of their relationship, the other feel that their relationship slaps itself in the face.

The film is shot entirely from the bottom lip to the bridge of the nose. While the story is relatable and easy to follow, the film gives you the opportunity to focus more closely on body language and micro-aggressions. Plus, how often do you get the chance to watch someone's mouth as they talk?

Along the way, he will come across weapons and supplies that allow him to keep going. During a near death zombie encounter, Manny gets saved by a samurai sword welding former cop named Andre. Though it is quite random to meet a samurai, Andre doesn’t say much but is a great companion for survival.

With the two working together, they have a greater chance of survival. So will they make it alive? Are they the only ones alive? What is going on in the world?

For now, there are 2 Left to Die.
