2026 Oscar-Winning Short Film: The Singers
How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?

Lowbrow comedy.

As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.
After the untimely death of his brother by way of an ambush in Kandahar, Afghanistan, the protagonist, ‘81’(Alan Ritchson) unsuccessfully makes several attempts to become an Army Ranger. On his last mission to complete the Ranger selection process he and his squad encounter an otherworldly ‘soldier’.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
I have talked with founder of Red Nation Television Network, Joanelle Romero, and the future of Indigenous representation looks bright.
