The “Shortest Film” is a film short about three strangers with apparent language barriers that features some seriously long credits. It was written, directed and stars John Elerick and also stars Harley Morenstein and Timothy Delaghetto. The actual film is about 15 second long, and the credit about 3-1/2 minutes. Who wants to read all those credits? 

Anyone with a sense of humor. Here are a few examples of what is to be found in the credits:

Art Director: Art Garfunkel
Costume Supervisors: Hugo Boss
Department Head Hair: Dolly Parton
Key Hair Stylist: Elton John

There are plenty more, but that’s a taste if you’re interested. Oh, and John Elerick ends it with a message to everyone.
