Where to Watch
Short-film discoverability remains limited compared to feature-length releases. For Editing Is everything, check platforms that specialize in short-form cinema: Vimeo Staff Picks, MUBI Shorts, the Criterion Channel short film collection, and YouTube channels like Omeleto. Direct streaming URLs for individual short films change frequently, and no permanent viewing link is guaranteed. Searching for Michael Samonek on these platforms may surface this and other works by the same filmmaker.
