about us

Short Stuff is an independent publication covering short film. We aim to lavish short film with the love, dedication and analysis it deserves.

At Short Stuff we want to provide short films of all genres with the same type of coverage as feature films. That includes interviews with filmmakers, actors, and the often hidden crew that make the magic happen. We publish analysis, essays, reviews, criticism, festival coverage, and anything else related to short film.

We believe that short film is undervalued and underfunded, and that the gap in coverage means we’re missing out on hearing about exciting filmmakers and work that is often made by and about racialised and marginalised communities.
