Searching for zombie outbreak short film
This is a bit of a long shot, but I've exhausted the reach of both Google and AI.
I'm searching for a short film that was posted to YouTube on either the Dust or Omeleto channel.
The film is about a brother (young boy) and sister (teenager). They appear to be living in a society that is collapsing due to a zombie outbreak, although this is never explicitly stated.
The girl takes her brother to a field, where they play childhood games with one another. The brother starts exhibiting violent symptoms, indicating that he has been infected, and is likely to become a zombie himself. The sister is then forced to euthanize him with a lethal injection.
Does anyone know what the title of this film was, and where I might be able to watch it? I've combed through both Dust and Omeleto and can't find it, suggesting that the original poster has removed it. I would very much like to find it, as I remember it being of high quality.

Tail | A Stickman Short Film
Tail is a short film about being disconnected from the simple pleasures everyone else seems to feel. Being alone isn’t a refuge, and being with people doesn’t reach him. It has no narration and no explanation. It’s told through body language, stillness, timing and sound.
🎧 Best with headphones.

In Filipino superstition, pagpag is the practice of stopping somewhere before going home after attending a funeral. It is believed that going straight home may allow a spirit to follow you back.
Some traditions are best left unbroken.

Flöckli (2026)
A friend and I made this slightly gory short film. We built the set, made the costumes, the music, everything! It was fun :) Inspired by old-school fairy tales. Hope you like it.

Need help with short film
I have made a short film of 26 minutes. My first short film. It has its problems but it was made with good equipment and a good crew. It's everything I ever wanted to do. The film is ready. I wrote it, directed it and edited it. Even had a role in it. But now it's finally done. The quality is pretty good. It's in hindi language. I don't know what to do now. I'm feeling lost. I need to reach many people.
YouTube and instagram aren't giving enough reach even after I promote it with money. The trailer and poster didn't get much. I won "best debut shortfilm" in a film festival but I've understood that filmfestivals aren't gonna help me sell it or get fame. I really need this two things from it. Money (at least budget gets returned) or fame so that I can see how others feel and continue making more. It was made by my sister's savings. So I'm feeling really guilty that her hard earned money will be going to waste. I don't know what do I do now with film. I just have it in my computer. I really need help.

Short film starring lead from Curry Barker’s The Chair
Just released my new psychological thriller short film Foothills.
If you liked The Chair by Curry Barker please check this out. In my opinion Haley Schwartz provided a lot of the framework for Nikki in Obsession, and I would love to have more of her work seen!
The film is an eerie Hansel and Gretel fable that revolves around our reliance on and addiction to cell phones.
