Shorts

WIL FILM has produced several short films during its time in business. Over the years we have created all kinds of projects. We started creating TV commercials back in 2002 but over time we created awarded short films. The award-winning short ”Tupilaq” having a duration of 6 minutes, while its short ”Digital Romance” lasts for 11 minutes have won several awards around the world. These animated shorts merge concise storytelling with an original concept, delivered with stunning visuals.

You can have your own short film if you want. Also known as shorts can be less than 40 minutes duration, they can vary in length and story. You can be the creator of your own story and we would be the experts behind it.

A Friendship starts, and flourishes, it is challenged and opens up for more fantastic discoveries and experiences, with the outside world in wonderment.
