Founded in the Spring of 2016 and beginning operating in Fall 2017, Loyola Short Film Club is truly the ultimate collaboration of creators on campus. Students in the club take on roles as actors, directors, cinematographers, writers, editors, and more. Four different short films are currently in production and the finished products will be screened to the public on December 8th 2017.
As it is our first operating semester, we have no finished products to show. In the meantime here are some excellent short films that we aspire to match in terms of quality:
Snake Bite-10 minutes For better or for worse, this film makes you feel something. The setting is simple, the characters are great, and it's a perfect example of an inciting incident.
Trevor-20 minutes This is an iconic film that started The Trevor Project. It's light and playful at times but also plays with really serious problems and can get really dramatic.
The Answers-8 minutes This film is a wonder. A deviation from narrative film, the way they set up the film and take us on this man's psychological journey is beautiful.
How to Lose Weight in Four Easy Steps!-8 minutesThis film stars Beck Bennett and is a great example of how a film can be funny and also make us feel something.
Trespass-10 minutes This fantastic film won a bunch of awards in Australia. It is a great example of something dramatic with minimal dialogue.
