The Best Of 5 Second Films

by | Mar 12, 2010 | COMMUNITY

Started in April of 2005, 5 Second Films is one of the funniest and most unique film projects we’ve seen. Their films actually run eight seconds; 2 seconds of intro titles, five seconds of film, and one second of outro titles. The creator of the project, Brian Firenzi, points out that “If you take umbrage with these 5sfs running at an actual length of 8 seconds, we can only assume you’re no fun at dinner parties.”
