About Warrington Oaks Pictures

Warrington Oaks Pictures wants to share their comedic work. In addition to short (and sometimes long) movies, articles are available to help beginning filmmakers learn the ropes and hopefully avoid some of the common mistakes. These articles are written from direct experience, not textbooks.

They have been making short movies for over 10 years, but became more active 6 years ago with the advent of digital editing on computers. Their first digital short, Forbidden Love, was 50 minutes.
