| 4 | -->-- '''5SF Motto''' |
| 5 | |
| 6 | ''5 Second Films'' (or ''5SF'') is a website run by a group of actors and writers that regularly produce short films. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin These short films last exactly five seconds]] (8 seconds, if you count the title card and 'The End'. But don't pay attention to that). The subject of said films are almost completely random, with only a few subjects and characters referenced more than once. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Their website can be found [[http://5secondfilms.com here]]. In addition, they have a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/5secondfilms YouTube channel]]; useful, since it has some of their earlier videos that are no longer accessible on their main site. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The troupe began pre-production for a 5400-second feature-length adaptation of ''Film/DudeBroPartyMassacre3'' with the opening of [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/5sf/dude-bro-party-massacre-3 a Kickstarter campaign]]. Production started in September 2013 and is planned for completion around Summer 2014. [[https://youtu.be/lwCqSV8ozyk First Teaser]] [[https://youtu.be/_Nh788U9o4k Second Teaser]] |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Not to be confused with [[Website/ChannelAwesome Five Second Movies]]. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Compare Platform/{{Vine}}, a social media website which ran on a similar concept using six-second video clips. |

Brian looks like George Lucas, sitting in his director's seat the whole time in front of nothing but green screens, and having a constant cup of coffee in his hand, along with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of the Star Wars opening playing after each video, and in the last one they used footage and sound clips from Episode III (Darth Vader's NO! scene) |
