Romantic Short Films

This week I have added a new page of romantic short films to my short films website. 


The first romantic short film on the new page is Validation by Kurt Kuenne (2007) (US). 


Validation is an amusing film that could easily be in the comedy section. Validation is a modern-day fable about a guy who is validating parking tickets at the mall but also validating the customers by giving them compliments. He likes to see people smile but there's one girl he meets who appears to be a lost cause. 


A slightly mawkish ending is outweighed by Validation's general awesomeness.

House On Little Cubes (Tsumiki No Ie) by Japenese animator Kunio Kato is the next romantic short film.


This short film won the Best Short Animation Oscar in 2009. As his town floods, an old man is forced to add levels onto his home in order to stay dry. But when he drops his favorite pipe into the watery levels below, his scuba-diving search for the pipe prompts him to keep on descending and relive scenes from his life. 


It's a real weepy of a romantic short and could be considered the animated version of The Last 3 Minutes...


The next romantic short film is a science-fiction short romance. World Builder was written and directed by a digital effects artist looking to display his skills: Bruce Branit has worked on Hollywood series such as Lost and Pushing Daisies, and this was his fifth (and by far his best) short film. 


The final film is Mei Ling, an unusual 'romantic' animation film but I like it!
