RS-1281

This short film is about a human who is examined by an android. The test - to prove that he is, indeed, "human". While providing a backstory of how humans will inevitably ruin the Earth, this film also allows for thought-provoking dialogue on what makes humans different from robots.

Viaje Temporal

This fun short film is about a guy wanting to go back in time so he can keep himself from breaking the game console right after he completed his game. Features geekiness, a messy flat, and weirdly labeled cereal boxes. Actual time travel might just happen.

Fun stuff.

Tiempodefecto

This film about a couple on the verge of a break up is one that struck my heart. I find it amazing how this has a kind of sci-fi vibe to it, and yet that vibe was merely used as a means to tell quite an interesting story.

But, oh, how very, very sad.

Ataque De Pánico! (Panic Attack!)

No need for long dialogue nor crazy scientists to make a great sci-fi flick. This one's got all the robots, aliens, and explosions you'll need - plus a killer soundtrack.

Un Pijama De Perritos (Pajamas With Little Dogs)

Well, you never know who you will meet on Chatroulette, after all.

This one's quick and interesting, and still managed to surprise me. It's funny, and yet also... unfunny. Remember: tread carefully.

This one's happily science fiction, being post-apocalyptic in nature, with cyborgs abound. I love its premise, and it looks amazing to boot. I particularly like how it achieved an in-depth storyline without dialogue. Really great.

Tiempo (Time)

A multi-awarded short film narrated by a humble watch. Such genius in 10 minutes with wonderful shots, a subtle plot, and black-and-white significance. Wonderful, wonderful film.

La Cabina (The Phone Box)

This one's an oldie, but definitely a goodie. Nice use of lighting, sound and just the right amount of filler dialogue to create an atmosphere. I still can't process how such an everyday thing can be so... extraordinary. The creeps this one gave me will last for some time.
