Youtube is a wonderful way to find films and other recorded material by the public and amateur film makers trying to get their work in the public domain.
Strangers by Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv is a film that contains no dialog. It is amazing to watch how the story evolves through tension and expressions. I am not sure whether or not this film is an internet short film, although it is really good and I though I would put it in. This film is a great short film because it has no speech and contains elements of religion and violence within common public places. The film has touched and amazed many people because it has 1247 posted comments in reply.
Another video I found was directed by Benjamin Reece and posted on September 15, 2008. It is titled "Fifty people, one question" and interviews 50 people on the street and asks them what they would wish to happen by the end of the day. Being a millionaire was very popular, but the simplicity of the film and style of shooting zooming in and out of focus was quite interesting to watch. I enjoyed this film because of the simple nature of the video and style of sounds and also the diversity in the people they interviewed.
The last short film I found is called muscle. It is really short and a little funny. They are trying to start an old pontiac and eventually get it going. They swear a little but I'm not sure if it adds or takes away from the video. The filming is pretty amateur but the online revolution has allowed these sorts of films to gain exposure within the public domain. Some of the people that have commented wanted sequels to find out what happens next.
