This sci-fi short was made with a $9000 budget, a Macbook Pro and a Canon 5D. That’s very impressive for this high octane, 15 minute long, special effects rich teaser. In the future mankind battles to find the NOVR. They’re up against… well, I’m just going to call them space vampires. That’s the least of […]

Short film: The Glitched King
This is a comedy short about a space traveller who crashes onto an alien planet. The animation was made, in part, by Michael Piazza. Piazza notes the two inspirations for the project are space that the fact that people kept on touching his hair. Watch the video and you’ll see how that factors in. Leap […]
Short film: Factory Farmed (by Godzilla’s Gareth Edwards)
You just need to hit up Geek Native’s Short Film collection and you’ll get access to a host of geek friendly sci-fi, fantasy and horror short films. Now and then there’s a short film that comes along that makes me think “Wait… I know that name.” In this case the film maker, the writer and […]
Short film: Through the Storm
What would you go through in order to bring you drowned husband back from the eerie land of the dead? Would you take on a Banshee? Would you consider it? This short film from an Irish team was written and directed by Fred Burdy and features Katie McGrath. It’s won a whole lot of awards. […]
Short film: Prospect
This reminds me of Firefly in some strange ways. The technology and set-up is entirely different but the overlap is this – Westerns in Space. What Shep Films’ Prospect does is take the usual claim/claim jumper Western story and give it a sci-fi twist. It does so very successfully too. Ready to watch some more? […]
Short film: Graffiti Area
Graffiti Area is the third of the Bombay Sapphire’s second Imagination Series films Geek Native has shared. The first was Exit Log, a sci-fi, and the second Reflections that took a sinister twist. Don’t be put off when you see subtitles at the start. This isn’t a dialogue based short. It’s all action. The question […]
Short film: Reflections
At the start of the month, Geek Native shared Exit Log a short sci-fi film in which two people only had three seconds to save their spaceship. Exit Log was one of five films that shared the same outline and produced in Bombay Sapphire’s The Imagination Series. The drinks company is now sponsoring the distribution […]
Short film: Exit Log
This is a clever little sci-fi film that explores time travel – well, time travel over the space of 3 minutes anyway. What would you do if you had three minutes to save the ship? Tip: Hop on this teleport link to discover a randomly selected new video.
Short film: Concerning Dragons
A short animation by Kieran Duncan that’s part MSc project and done in association with Axis Animation. It’s an unofficial tie in with the release of The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. It feels brief but took 13 weeks to make and has a simply wonderful papercraft effect. Time to dare some short film roulette. Click […]
Short film: H.I.S.S.
I’m a fan of Sneaky Zebra. They’ve appeared on Geek Native before with some great cosplay videos. This is different. H.I.S.S. is Sneaky’s entry into the SciFi London 48 hour film challenge. They had only 48 hours to make a film based on a title, a prop or action and a line of dialogue. The […]
