Today, on the Cinema Flow Podcast, I’ve gathered three friends (Luke Morton, Aidan Eck, and Katie Isherwood) to watch five of my favorite short films. We’re going to review the films and discuss them from a filmmaking perspective.

If you’re an aspiring director, you can learn a lot from these shorts. Most of the people who made these movies did not have a lot of resources. Some of them were even film school students.

All of the films are FREE to watch online. Links to these movies are available down below.
