Do you like weird short films? Great!
Below is a collection of what I consider Weird Short Films.
What is a Weird Short Film, Anyway? For me, a Weird Short Film can be a comedy, horror, experimental, or a mix of all three. The key is that it doesn’t follow a typical path—it has to bring something unique to the table. Some of these films lean weirder than others, but if it stands out and breaks convention, it earns its spot here.
While a few of these films overlap with my main "Films" section, many are exclusive to this page, curated to enhance the 420 experience. What does that mean? Well, some of these shorts feature unique sound design or interesting visuals combined with stylistic editing; some are subtle, others are bold—but all of them aim to immerse you in a visual journey and put the viewer often in a state of WTF!
