We’ve launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund Urban Legend, our twisted action-comedy short film
At Useless Talents, we’ve always believed in making bold, emotional, and unexpected films with little more than passion, grit, and creativity.
Now, with Urban Legend, we’re taking things further, a twisted action-comedy short film that turns an ordinary night into absolute chaos.
To make it the way it deserves to be seen, we’re inviting our community to join us. Every contribution helps transform this vision into reality.
Help Bring Urban Legend to Life
Action Comedy // Short film - Fundraising Campaign
Urban Legend
Urban Legend is an action-comedy with a sharp, cinematic look. Think the tension of a psychological thriller colliding with the absurdity of dark comedy.
The characters are heightened but real: ordinary people caught in extraordinary, ridiculous circumstances. The set design mirrors this duality, cozy, lived-in spaces disrupted by sudden chaos.We draw inspiration from the stylized grit of the Coen Brothers, the ironic playfulness of Tarantino, and the grounded absurdity of Italian commedia nera. Grainy textures, bold framing, and a touch of surreal humor give the film its personality. It’s a world where accidents spiral into legends, and everyday details carry both comedy and danger.
