The McMinnville Short Film Festival Pop Up returns to the Coaster Theatre for a fall showing of six short films including the Academy Award nominated film JANE AUSTEN’S PERIOD DRAMA.
The line up includes:
Nepotism, Baby! After her nepotism fails her, a fame obsessed young woman fabricates a conspiracy to jumpstart her career.
Catherine & Michael An unhappily married couple visits their do-everything-right friends for a supposedly fun weekend upstate, but when their fragile relationship crumbles, they discover an unusual method for reigniting their spark.
Bulldozer After discovering her boyfriend’s infidelity, Jo spirals and ends up involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility. Upon her release, Jo attempts to rebuild her life, find love, and figure out what’s wrong with her. And in the process, she’ll leave a wake of rubble as she bulldozes her way to happiness.
Dead Cat What were Catherine and Louis thinking when they chose a cat with distinctive white spots? It would have been much easier to replace if they had picked the all-back one! Now, they will have to tell their daughter Sophie that Nugget’s dead. Unless….
Therapist Crush Soul-searching transmasculine Frankie has a crush on his hot, new therapist, until one day things get too real.
Jane Austen’s Period Drama England, 1813. In the middle of a long-awaited marriage proposal, Miss Estrogenia Talbot gets her period. Her suitor, the dashing Mr. Dickley, mistakes the blood for an injury, and it soon becomes clear that his very expensive education has most certainly missed a spot. Nominated for Best Live Action Short, 2026 Academy Awards
