about us
Short Stuff is an independent publication providing dedicated coverage of short films.
We aim to lavish short film with the love, dedication and analysis it deserves, giving shorts the same type and depth of coverage as features.
We publish short film news, cast and crew interviews, reviews and criticism, analysis and essays, festival coverage, and anything else related to short film.
We believe that short film is undervalued and underfunded, and that the gap in coverage means we’re missing out on hearing about exciting filmmakers and work that is often made by and about racialised and marginalised communities.
