I’m teaching an introductory screenwriting class and I want my students to watch some outstanding short films and also read the scripts if possible. Any recommendations? Films need to be under 10 minutes, viewable on some platform and the script available online. So far what I have are all quite old. Thank you!

Some of my favorites from film school are:
Peel by Jane Campion is great.
Fait d'hiver (Gridlock) by Dirk Beliën is a terrific Belgium short for new writers.
Next Floor by Denis Villeneuve is amazing.
This is John by Mark Duplass
Thunder Road by Jim Cummings
A Reasonable Request by Andrew Laurich if you want raunch.
Eer by Kristoffer Borgli is incredible and weird
Restaurant Dogs by Eli Roth is funny spoof comedy.
Signs by Patrick Hughes
Bean Cake by David Greenspan
Sew Torn by Freddy Macdonald
Sign Language dir. by Oscar Sharp
How They Get There by Spike Jonze

Pat Alexander Wow this is a teasure trove. Any particular ones that really illustrate three-act structure and "the hero's journey"? So many films are really creative but the "architecture" is well hidden.

Anna Marton Henry it's great to hear that you'll be teaching an introductory class! I'm a big fan of THE LUNCH DATE! it may be very on the nose but such a good short!

If you happen to teach that class next year, I'd be happy to tell you my idea for a short film.

Sam Rivera I'm actually teaching this at a university, but it may end up coming to Stage 32 too (I guess). I love THE LUNCH DATE and it's definitely one I am using! I used to represent Adam Davidson (the writer-director). He's an incredibly talented, awesome guy!
