STUCK
Watch a 11-minute comedy where good intentions become a catastrophe
STUCK is a 2026 short film about a journalist named Simon who walks into a rural property dispute and decides he can fix it. One dead dog. Two men who'd rather destroy each other than talk. Three slain sheep nobody can agree on. His editor tells him not to get involved. He does it anyway. That's the entire premise, and it's exactly as messy as it sounds.
The film clocks in at 11 minutes — short enough that you can watch it during a lunch break, long enough to land every joke without feeling rushed. It's filed as comedy-drama, though the comedy carries you through the door and the drama is what stays with you.
Why this 11-minute film doesn't waste a single second
What strikes me about STUCK is how much tension comes not from the feud itself, but from Simon's unshakeable belief that reasonable people will listen to reason. He's not stupid. He's just wrong about how the world works.
The rural setting does heavy lifting here — there's something about wide-open landscapes that makes human stubbornness look absurd. And the film leans into that without ever explaining the joke. There's a scene early on where both men are in the same room but facing opposite directions. Neither will turn around. It's both funny and quietly sad, the kind of moment a lesser film would've rushed past.
Eleven minutes is unforgiving. One wrong tonal note and you've lost your audience — and you don't have 40 more minutes to win them back. STUCK doesn't miss. The performances never wink at the camera. The pacing doesn't stumble. Every scene earns its place.
Figboot Productions, the production company behind this, doesn't chase mainstream distribution — they build tight, focused short films where runtime becomes an advantage instead of a limitation. This one feels precise rather than truncated.

The IMDb score isn't what it looks like
STUCK currently shows a 0/10 rating on IMDb — but that's not a critical death sentence. It's a technical zero. Short films, especially those released directly to streaming, don't accumulate votes the way theatrical releases do. It'll take months before enough people vote to generate an actual score. The absence of a rating is just how the ecosystem works for short-form content right now.
This is exactly the kind of film that Movie OTT's editorial team watches for — titles that slip through algorithmic cracks because they're not features, not series, and not backed by studio marketing. Short films are discovery problems, not quality problems.
Who should actually watch this
If you've got 11 minutes and you're willing to watch someone confidently walk into a disaster of their own making, STUCK is worth your time. That's a low barrier. The film knows exactly what it wants to be — comedy that lands, drama that lingers — and it doesn't apologize for either one.
Short films don't always get this right. This one does.
