The crew of a plane get food poisoning, and only a man with PTSD has a chance to pilot it.

Full of dad-humor, this is definitely only good for people who can handle silly and pointless humor. Notable for being very adult even though it was rated PG. There were better parents back then.

  • Trailer
  • Inappropriately rated PG.

An ill man man discovers why he’s nauseous.

While definitely not great or big budget, it’s watchable once though not collectable.

A cryptographer is hired to work on a mysterious message that has far more to it than anyone realises.

It’s strong in enough places to vaguely recommend it, but because it ends with weak and confusing philosophy it’s ultimately unsatisfying.

The Earth is ruined by aliens, and survivors don’t really.

It’s good, but it’s entire first part comes across like a visual novel and the whole short feels like an awkward intro to a full movie. It’s still a fine effort but not strongly recommended. Flagged as both liked and disliked.

Children threaten all of existence, and only a gunslinger can stop them.

It would be good, except it took forever to actually get anywhere.

Enlarged pigs are bred, but eco-terrorists want humanity to starve.

Childish, and with a shit premise.

An eyedrop-delivered memory augmenting nanotech is as horrifying as it sounds.

Fantastic premise, writing and acting. A real winner.
