Small towns often miss out on not just mainstream movies but also the alternatives, like quality short films, because it’s just not viable to distribute the films for small audiences.

Newtown Flicks decided to put together a collection of short films from their 2009 festival. This Collection #1 contains some 13 short films on 2 DVDs that run for a total of 138 minutes. It contains both the winning films from each category as well as many of the audience's favourites. None of these will be screened on free to air, cable or satellite TV in the foreseeable future so it gives community groups and individuals a unique product to promote for local screenings.

These films provide both diversity in their stories and the manner in which they are told. They include: comedies, dramas, animations and documentaries.

We hope you enjoy them!
