It's Max's birthday and everything's swell. Except his girlfriend's made the cake from hell

Bad Cake, the third short from Whippoorwill Films is now complete and will have its first screening on Tuesday 3rd November as part of Son of Movie Bar in Brighton. We're hoping to have plenty more so please check back for future screenings.


Our mad scientist, Dr Strom, awakes from a curious dream and realises the error of his lunatic ways. Will he be able to halt his fiendish experiment, or is the undead monster in the smart tweed suit destined to walk once more.

The second short to be produced by Whippoorwill Films was 'The Brain of Dr. Strom', a homage to the Universal horror films of the 1930's, and the low budget horrors of the 1950's and 1960's. Featuring Mark Stevenson from 'The Last Horror Movie', and an original score by composer James Gray, 'The Brain of Dr Strom' has received screenings at the 2007 London Filmmakers Convention, the 2008 Portobello Film Festival and 2008 Portobello Film Festival Xmas Party, and short film nights including The Emperor's New Shorts at the Cockpit Theatre.


Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the amazing insomnitron as he battles his own mind and body for sleep.

The first short film to be completed by Whippoorwill Films was the 5 minute experimental short 'NUM8ER CRUNCH1NG'. This film uses live action and animation to tell the story of an insomniac trying to fall asleep. It has received screenings at the 2007 East End Film Festival, the 2007 Canary Wharf Film Festival, the 2007 Ohne Kohle Film Festival in Vienna, and various short film nights including Film Connection @ The Roxy.
