What do you do after co-writing one of the best horror films in years, directing an incredible superhero movie, and presiding over a highly-emotional Comic-Con panel? If you’re Joss Whedon (and I don’t know anyone else who has accomplished those three feats in a row), then you star in the short film, Scary Smash, which is based on a story by a 5-year-old kid named Brett Baligad. To Brett’s credit, his story about a S.Q.U.A.T. leader (Whedon) facing off against a giant one-eyed monster (leave your sick minds at the door) after the death of a milkman (Dave Foley) is more entertaining than most movies you’ll see. It’s got a good set-up, strong dramatic tension, obstacles, and a clear resolution. Some screenwriters would do well to take notes from young Brett.
Hit the jump to watch the short film, which was directed by not-a-five-year-old-kid, Daniel Strange (The Ballad of G.I. Joe). If you need more convincing to watch the short, it was produced by Felicia Day (The Guild).

Squat Team! Lmao that is effing hilarious
This is why Joss is hundred times a better writer and director that Chris Nolan.
God damn it, for His sake, could someone please give Joss the Terminator franchise and let us die with happiness.
what? why did you even type that?
they are both great directors with their own style
go find a cliff and jump off of it
Yeah…..um.. Joss Whedon didn’t write or direct this. Maybe it indicates that he is more fun and friendly as a human being than most directors but that’s about it.
lol at 2.12 one-eyed monster ‘spraying water’. Ha. Sorry, dirty mind
