Shorts International

‘Shorts International’ is the world's leading short movie entertainment company, operating as a distributor, broadcaster and producer.  It was set-up some years ago by Carter Pilcher, an American investment banker, after he came across some really good short films made by a few talented friends.

The company has a catalogue of over 3000 short movies and runs subscription TV channels that show short films in six countries to about 12 million homes.  This includes ‘ShortsHD’, the first high definition channel dedicated to short movies.  The films are categorized into 30 and 60 minute thematic “zones” covering a variety of genres, such as comedies, musicals, documentaries, thrillers, dramas and animation.  Their short films are also available for download via ‘iTunes’.

In conjunction with ‘Magnolia Pictures’, ‘Shorts International’ annually releases ‘The Oscar Nominated Shorts Films’ to give audiences a chance to see all 10 Animated and Live Action Oscar Nominated Shorts prior to the Academy Awards.  Audiences for these have increased by more than 1000% in 5 years.

‘Shorts International’ and ‘Shorts Studios’, a production company dedicated to creating innovative short film content for brands such as Sony PlayStation and Nike, are headquartered in London with additional offices in Paris, New York and Los Angeles.
