-->''Wasting your time, but not very much.''

''[[http://5secondfilms.com/ 5 Second Films]]'' (or 5SF) is a website run by a group of actors and writers that regularly produce short films. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin These short films last exactly five seconds]] (8 seconds, if you count the title card and 'The End'. But don't pay attention to that). The subject of said films are almost completely random, with only a few subjects and characters referenced more than once.

In addition to the link above, they have a [[http://www.youtube.com/user/5secondfilms YouTube channel]]; useful, since it has some of their earlier videos that are no longer accessible on their main site.

Not to be confused with [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Five Second Movies]].
