Article about a short film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. The only notability claim on offer here is that it won awards at minor local film festivals that are not prominent enough to get over NFO #3 -- notability-securing awards means things like Oscars, BAFTAs, Canadian Screen Awards or Césars and/or film festivals on the Cannes-Berlin-Toronto tier of international prominence, not just every minor film festival that exists -- and for sourcing, there's one article from the university student newspaper of the filmmaker's own alma mater (hence not fully independent of the subject), and one blurb in the corporate newsletter of the filmmaker's employer (hence not fully independent of the subject), so it doesn't pass the "notable because media coverage" criterion either. I've also removed two footnotes that both failed to mention this film at all, and instead were present solely to verify a completely tangential fact about a person who had nothing whatsoever to do with this film, and thus had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with establishing this film as notable. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the film from having to be referenced a flaming hell of a lot better than this. Bearcat (talk) 23:21, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
