Kurz ist das neue Lang! Warum eine vielschichtige Storyline wie einen ausgekauten Kaugummi auf 120+ Minuten langziehen, wenn du ihn auch in fünf Minuten wechseln kannst? Unsere Kurzfilme sind so geschmackvoll, dass sie auch in kürzester Zeit spannende, humorvolle, bewegende Geschichten erzählen können. In der Kürze liegt die Würze.
