The Story

5-Second Films was created by Brian “Boss Man” Firenzi in the Spring of 2005, after being disappointed by so many 5,400-second films. The rules are simple: 2 seconds of beginning titles, 5 seconds of film, 1 second of end titles. If you take umbrage with these 5sfs running at an actual length of 8 seconds, we can only assume you’re no fun at dinner parties.

This site is developed by Daniel Hollister, with design by Jonathan Schlaepfer. When the rest of us wind up broke, living at the top of the 101 overpass, we will spot Dan and Jonathan in their brand-new Lexuses (Lexii?) and beg them for Internet Change. They will speed away.

Onward, backstory-craver! And watch out for meeps!
