I love food and I hate war. Here's the perfect combo - an elaborate retelling of famous battle scenes using food as soldiers, weapons and ballistics. Whoever said that war was "distasteful" has never seen this animated winner. view

Every job takes a little getting used to, and like all other careers, there's a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to robbery. In this short, directed by Wolfgang Muchow, a not-so-smooth criminal gets some unexpected on the job training when his victim turns the situation around in her favor. Maybe the world would be a better place if we could all think on our feet like this. view

Check out this cool web series. Creator John Herman was the force behind this project and has since produced a number of other videos. In addition to good writing and interesting characters, the series encouraged collaboration with its viewers, and the 16th episode was written by one of them. I hope there will be many future seasons of "Gravityland." view

Quantum theory postulates the existence of alternate realities. This short film does something quite similar. A split screen allows you to see the same character having a great day on one side, and a much worse day on the right, until the opposing realities collide. view

Oh, the City of Angels offers too many entrancing liberties for me to abandon her, but if I was going to take up residence in a foreign land, Hong Kong has always been near the top of my list. Shot on location, this story is about two brothers vacationing in Hong Kong, one who's too American to eat local cuisine and the other still recovering from a recent breakup. While the acting is a little stiff in parts, the writing is quite good, and the dynamic between the brothers themselves and later with a local female definitely makes this a recommended view. view
