Here is a 88-min collection of comedy shorts (horror and Sci-Fi) from around the world.
A NEW DAY (Brought to You by Horizon Research Systems) - At Horizon Research Systems, we pride ourselves on helping you achieve the life of your dreams - the life you deserve. Also, we may owe you a few apologies.
BLONSH - When a teenage boy embarks on a mission to find a condom at his girlfriend’s house, he must face his fears, and an intergalactic alien, for a shot at losing his virginity.
CONNECTED - Artificial Intelligence devices, such as Siri, band together with the video intercom and the stove to meddle in Ben's life -- by organizing a lunch for him where they invite both his girlfriend and his lover. In Italian with English subtitles

LOOKING BACK - George gets more than he bargained for when he discovers a ghost living in the backup camera of his new car.

RISE & SHINE - Nancy works in a small gas station shop. Disillusioned, not even the news of an apocalypse seems to worry her. But the sudden arrival of a mysterious customer could change all that. Will Nancy finally find meaning in her life? Or in her death? In French with English subtitles

WELCOME TO CANDY’S - Like in a fairy tale, it only took one glance for Etienne to fall head over heels in love with Candy.

Director Biography - Michael Charron
Michael sees the movie theater as a place where traditions are subverted–where the status quo gets turned on its head. And this is where his writing sensibilities lie–in taking an established concept or idea and finding a way to turn it into something unexpected. From slasher films where the “sexy girls” are the most competent ones to a rom-com where the meet cute takes place during casting for a snuff film, there’s no trope he’s unwilling to push to its limit. Michael’s written more than a dozen feature films (and produced four of them) as well as written, directed, and produced a series of successful shorts. Michael has had several feature scripts both place as finalists and win in festivals and has had multiple short films win awards in recent years, including several that took top honors.
