By bringing together a like-minded group of people passionate about the British and European short film industry, Britshorts was born.

Tired of being inundated with trashy film sites, enhanced with chocolate chip cookie extras, we wanted to achieve a site that offered up only the cream of the British and European short film market. Playing only the films we've made, the shorts we love and those you've written. To the players and the watchers. A location that gives you the latest industry news, shorts ahead of all the other punters, exclusive production news and a facility to both read and write reviews. That tells you who's making what, drops the Hollywood accent and gives corporate movie chat a miss.

In short, a site that suits you. Whether you're pining to be the next Polanski, have just dropped the kids off at school or simply need an inspiring quick fix at work, this site is for you. A site for like-minded people who love making, watching and showing great British and European shorts. We aim to make the explosion of Britshorts a creative, intelligent and inspiring one.
