Synopsis

One Minutes, an epic exploration into the world of cinema, is comprised of a series of films all exactly one minute in length. Each film either spoofs, satirises or homage's a different style or genre.

Horror, drama, thriller, comedy, war, animation, film noir - One Minutes covers as many genres and styles as the hour hand will allow.
