UPCOMING EVENTS

“PARADISE SHRED’ITION” was our production company launch party and inaugural anthology screening. The program played for an audience of over two hundred partygoers on a rolling basis into the evening. Popular demand inspired an encore screening the following week.
Curation highlights include award-winning director Jonny Look’s absurdist dance piece “Phér- Bŏney Love Theme”, Jean-Louis Droulers’ Berlin VMA-winning “WOLF” and Alexandra Warrick’s farce “questions (or: peanut butter)”, hailed by NYMag as 2019's best comedic short.

Our second anthology screening was night of horror comedy and “anti-comedy” short films, leaning into the uncanny and the uncomfortable. We collaborated with the creators of several viral classics of the genre alongside promising newcomers.
Curation highlights include a tenth anniversary screening of Wham City Comedy’s [adult swim] 4 AM Infomercials classic Unedited Footage of a Bear, Robin Comisar’s festival phenomenon Great Choice and Jury Duty' s David Brown’s oddball micro-series “Today’s Corrections For Yesterday”.

Our third anthology screening was an ode to New York City, a diverse and confrontational curation of films inspired by OMA’s native locale. All works were shot in NYC by NYC-based filmmakers.
Curation highlights include Shit New Yorkers Say, a run-and-gun observational sketch starring Ilana Glazer of Broad City, Adi Eshman’s Oscar-qualifying two-hander ANNE and Elias Hinojosa’s SXSW standout LULLABY.

Our fourth anthology screening was an evening of comedic micro-shorts - short films that clocked in at two minutes or less. These micro-shorts told distinct stories with a surreal, hallucinogenic bent - all in 120 seconds or less.
Curation highlights included Waverly Films’ early-Internet classic “Pick Up The Phone”, Cody Kostro’s gleefully profane rap video “Blade on Deck” and “The Cycle of Life”, a mesmerizing animated fugue from U M A M I.

For our November anthology, we’re seeking short films that make you wonder where you are and how you got there. Plot twists, curveballs and chaos welcome. We appreciate genre-shapeshifting, disorienting edits and aesthetic mashups. Irreverent, rule-breaking storytelling encouraged.

For our December end-of-year anthology, we’ll be showcasing the “best of the best”: an encore revue of the short films from our previous screenings with the strongest concepts, style and audience response. This anniversary event is meant to celebrate the cream of the crop, collecting the shorts that stuck with us the most into a program of “bangers only”.

For our February anthology, we’re seeking the least erotic love- and sex-themed short films possible. Think sensual scenes gone wrong, egregious romantic miscommunications, uncommon fetishes, misleading overtures, upsetting FanFiction, deeply strange couples or profoundly cursed Valentines.

For our April anthology, we’re seeking short films that were made for zero dollars and zero cents. Whether you begged, borrowed or stole, we want to see what you’ve come up with sans cash. We appreciate resourceful techniques, creative props and memorable uses of found or public domain footage. Remix, repurpose, reuse or reinvent - just don’t spend!

For our June anthology, we’re seeking films that address the future - whether far-flung or closer than it appears. Themes like technological advancements and Artificial Intelligence are expected, but we prioritize fresh takes on these; dystopian Sci-Fi is encouraged, but we’re open to utopias, too.

For our August anthology, we’re seeking animated short films - and lots of them! Any animation style welcome, so long as the story you tell would rattle cartoon traditionalists to the core. Genre-forward work prioritized, especially in the realms of dark comedy and horror. We appreciate animated work that cross-pollinates multiple mediums.
