Sweet and Short: Marrow (Dir. Jay T. Grimes)

What makes 'Marrow' stand out is not just its subject matter (fear of ageing is rarely portrayed with this kind of visceral immediacy or violence) but its style.

Sweet and Short: Pizzaslice (Dir. Carl Johan Holmboe Dahl)

'Pizzaslice' is an excellent piece for an easy character study with a slight plot twist. It’ll make you feel pity and make you smile. It is vulnerable and genuine. It is just perfectly everything I enjoy about film.

Sweet and Short: Bricked (Dir. Will Stepney)

Directed with restraint and urgency, 'Bricked' is visually engaging and emotionally unnerving.
