Why Watch? The multi-talented Charlie Higson plays himself for this slight (yet endearing) short film about where his book ideas really come from. While at a fan convention, Higson is verbally accosted by two creepy children (either the target audience for his zombie books or entities ready to chant “Come play with us…”). He keeps a stiff upper lip when all he wants to do is sign books, but it’s their last accusation that really stings. It’s another fun, self-effacing bite from the team at Meat Bingo. What Will It Cost? About 3 minutes. Keep Watching Short Films

Why Watch? Because there are few things as powerful or unnatural. Things to look for in this stark short include an attention to camera angles, and the concept of objects (and their destruction) as a window into human tragedy. The less said the better, as the film does every ounce of the difficult work here, but this is a poetic example of where minimalism done right can tell a rich story without using words or character development. What does it cost? Just 3 minutes of your time. Check out (Dis) Assembly for yourself:
