“I thinks it’s a good sign that filmmakers whose projects we presented in development are now coming back to show their films in Work-in-Progress, which is the case for Sparrow and Rams,” said Les Arcs industry head Vanja Kaludjercic.

Why Watch? From the lush shots in the opening minutes of David Roddham‘s film, it would be easy to assume Coward was an attempt to look on the bright side of war. It’s not. Neither is it the Saving Private Ryan kind of bleakness. Instead, it’s a patient film that follows two cousins on the front lines as they deal with the stark reality of shell-shock and a military structure (and storm of bullets) that has little sympathy for it. Anchored by staunch acting performances, rich cinematography and explosive moments that deeply engage, it’s as difficult to watch as it is rewarding. What will it cost? Only 28 minutes. Skip Work. Watch More Short Films.

Full disclosure: Generally speaking, I don’t spend a lot of time watching short films. The ones I do catch are usually recommended to me by someone familiar with the project. It’s not that I have anything against shorter movies, mind you, but there’s so many out there that it’s often hard to know where to look. Sifting through the bad to find the good seems like an impossible task. Enter director David Roddham’s “Coward,” which arrived on my cinematic radar courtesy of an unexpected tweet over the weekend. The 28-minute 35mm flick is truly remarkable, from its engaging story to cinematographer Stephen Murphy’s ability to frame some seriously compelling shots. I’m not sure what kind of budget the filmmakers had at their disposable, but I’m guessing it wasn’t much. However, you’d never know this watching the film. Here’s...

Here's a must watch, incredibly well made and intense short called Coward which is set during World War I, and it takes us into the insanity of trench warfare. The movie was directed by David Roddham, and the production design, acting and cinematography are all impressively top-notch! Here's the synopsis:
Coward is a 28 minute film set during World War 1 that brings to light some of the brutal treatment soldiers received for suffering what would now be known as shell-shock.
It follows two cousins, Andrew and James, from their home in Northern Ireland who join the British Army to fight for their Country and make their families proud.
Through their eyes we see the reality of life on the front lines.
I don't see how in the world people could fight a war like this. It's just insane, and there's no way anyone could live through something like this and not...

Proving that big, impressive things can come in "smaller" packages, David Roddham's short film Coward is a lovingly detailed throwback to the sentimental epics of yesteryear and a sobering snapshot of "the last great war". And you can watch it online, right now.I first got wind of Roddham's short as they were wrapping up production a year back, and was able to share my two cents on the finished film just a few months ago. Here's a snippet of those thoughts: There's certainly a Spielbergian deftness to Roddham's direction. The film has sentiment and heart to spare, but is never saccharine, and understands and honors its increasingly dark and tragic subject matter. All in all Coward is a solid throwback to classic studio storytelling on...

We here at Twitch like to champion short films every chance we get, which outside of festivals and the occasional stellar short shared online, is somewhat rare. A while back we got wind of what appeared to be a rather impressive production coming out of Ireland and the UK: a Wwi set short called Coward. Now ramping up for what is sure to be a healthy festival run, here's my take on David Roddham's film. Following two cousins from the sun-dappled countryside of Ireland to the snow and shit streaked trenches of Belgium, Coward focuses itself on the inner prejudices and politics, and eventual injustices of the British Army during the First Word War. In the crosshairs as the Irish cousins, actors Martin McCann and...

Director David Roddham describes his new short film Coward in this way: Coward is a short film that takes a cold hard look at the loss of innocence, fear and injustice that Irish-born soldiers in the British army went through during the First World War.The teaser, which you'll find below, certainly hints at such, casting a grim and oppressive mood in just over a minute. And thanks in large part to Stephen Murphy's 35mm cinematography, it's a minute that is liable to stay with you a good deal longer. So, count us on board for the full short, expected to arrive later this year. In the meantime keep up with the post-production process (and catch up on last January's shoot) at the film's official blog....
