Un Novio De Mierda (A Shitty Boyfriend)

This short film is about a guy stopping by his ex-girlfriend's house to "say hi". The lady doubts his reasons for coming, especially after his length of stay in the washroom, but the ending might just wrap it up for us. Maybe. Amusing, though.

Desanimado (Unanimated)

This short film is about a man who thinks he is different from everyone else - particularly because he thinks he's a cartoon character.

Told with bits of animation and an interesting monologue of a man who is not sure if he fits in with the world, this film made me think about how isolated people can be when they feel "too" different from others.

La Mesa Servida (The Table Is Set)

This short film is about a man who steals pigs, supposedly to eat with his wife. Set amidst a town where very few people get to eat meat, this story goes from odd to downright silly as the days pass by.

Note: NSFW due to some sexual scenes, but what an ending.

Situación Idílica (Idyllic Situation)

This short film is about a guy who, laden by work, suddenly finds his desk clear of papers. Forays into a snow-filled world soon come around, too.

But seriously, if only work could go away just like that - beautiful.

La Loteria

This short film is about a man's green card, and the girlfriend he can choose to bring with him - provided he marries her. With beautiful shots, amusing back stories, and great storytelling, this short film made me smile and hope.

El Otro José (The Other Jose)

This short film is about a taxi cab driver who finds a life-changing moment after going through a rough ordeal - one wherein he gets a pretty bad rejection. His life - and his overall persona - will then seem to indeed change for the better... Or so they say. He'll show her that he has, anyhow.

This starts rather darkly, but it lightens up considerably as the movie progresses. Fun film.

It Girl

This short film about a recently laid off woman and her ill husband is a parody on egobloggers. Amusing in its portrayal of popular it girls, but with a comical, tragic spin. Totally coolerica.

Disculpe, Caballero

This short film about a guy getting constant calls from a telemarketer is funny, but realistic, too. Quite annoying, and also rather sad.

Also one of the reasons why I prefer pay-as-you-go mobile access to postpaid plans.

Muertas De Asco (Sick Death)

This short film features two sisters who are on their way to meet up their dad. They have a tied-up zombie in the trunk, and more zombies are on the open road.

Besides bloody entrails, circus acts, bounty hunters, and a mechanized monkey, this movie actually features pseudo-familial love amidst the zombie apocalypse.

(Interested in another zombie movie? Zombies and Cigarettes has that, and the awkward non-hero, too.)

Frikis (Nerds)

This short film is about the relationship between a geeky guy and his girl. Reeking with video game nerdiness, this movie is told with animation, chiptune music, and plenty of geeky references.

Nerdiness aside, this actually shows some realistic sides of relationships - from joint shopping to sex to left-behind friends. It also informs us that maybe we do need to carry our phones with us at all times.

(Need more geek? Here's a short film with a comic book guy.)

Esto No Está Bien (It's Not Right)

I suppose that having sexytime with your sister on a whim will keep the boredom away all right, but some lines should definitely not be crossed.

Oh, and yeah: Superman undies are cute.

Yo También Te Quiero (I Like You Too)

This short film features a guy talking about how he waits for his girl friend to be his girlfriend. The pains of being in this nefarious place is given glorious detail, and is peppered only by a building frustration... oh, and a dog.

(For another tale from the friendzone, check out La Carta De Los Secretos.)

Doble Check

This short film about an (un)read WhatsApp message shows us just how the Internet keeps couples together... and apart. Communicating has never been easier, I think.

Oh, and remember kids: El doble check es DIOS.

El Desayuno

All the dog wants is a nice, heaping plate of bacon and eggs. He will do almost anything to get that delicious breakfast. (You have to applaud his efforts, too.)

But really: what a cute and smart dog.

This short film about an arguing couple, stuffed dolls, and little windows is as funny as they come. Loving the mixed media, and it's amusing how the story is aptly fit in less than a minute.

Cúmulo & Nimbo

This short film about two guys staring at clouds is really rather curious. What's with the puppets? What's with the dream? Was that a meta angle? Interesting end note, too.

Iniciación A La Fotografía

This amusing short film is about how a couple, especially the particularly talkative wife, is inquiring about photography lessons.

The agony and awkwardness of the inappropriate intrusion is only topped by an interesting side note at the very end. Funny.

Control Z

This short film about a guy wanting to edit his life is amusing, but it does have an interesting message at the end. Oh, and beware of amusing sex scenes here.

I don't think I'd like to edit my life that way myself. Hurrah for all its ups and downs.

Amor Urbano (Urban Love)

This cute modern-day love story features some gross actions that may affect your sensibilities. Oh, to find a partner who would accept you for all that you are, from your nose-picking, to the smells of your feet.
