In the world of global media the beauty of the short can often be overlooked. However in this day and age where the viral video rules and money is tight maybe these Short films are the future of home entertainment.

Most people think these films are just a few pretentious idiots with a camcorder but that is no longer the case as there are so many fantastic short films out there that should get the attention they deserve. I have selected this one to show you just how amazing they can be. Here is Blinky, a stunningly beautiful, touching and violently sinister short film from Ruairi Robinson.

Soon every home will have a robot helper.

Don’t worry.

It’s perfectly safe.
