Broken Cycle
Our number 10 spot is given to Broken Cycle directed by Clifton Archuleta for this simple, yet perfectly flowed story. Although all first timers, the cast pulls together strong emotional performances to create a most realistic sensation of tension.

Bummer
Another short emphasized on a simple story with great first time acting. This film uses awkward humor to win its spot in the top 10, the low budget and high quality result proves to all the a film can be made with a few bucks.

Tell
The master of DIY filmmaking Ryan Connolly released his short film ‘Tell’ this year. The film is almost flawless visually and technically, and could of easily grabbed a higher spot in our countdown if it wasn’t a 30 minute film.

(Notes On) Biology
We loved this short cause it brought us back directly into our daydreams in our classrooms. Creativity brings this short at our number 7 of the year, stop-motion at its best.

“032” Canadian Affair
Fantastically original film that will leave you floating in time. Created by Thibault Duverniex from Departement and Antler Films, the film was originally meant as a music video, but once dropped it was turned into a short.
