JANE AUSTEN’S PERIOD DRAMA (2025)

An Oscar-nominated short on Neon Splatter? Have we gone respectable?!? Never.

But JANE AUSTEN’S PERIOD DRAMA is nominated for Best Live Action Short and is wildly deserving of all of its accolades, from various festivals and including the Academy Award nomination. From writers/directors Julia Aks and Steve Pinder, it’s a pitch-perfect stand-in for Austen romcoms while also exploring the gendered intricacies of Georgian-era propriety.

The plot summary is as follows:

England, 1813. In the middle of a long-awaited marriage proposal, Miss Estrogenia Talbot gets her period. Her suitor, Mr. Dickley, mistakes the blood for an injury, and it soon becomes clear that his expensive education has missed a spot.

A hilarious short film that moves very quickly and very cleverly. Enjoy!

JANE AUSTEN’S PERIOD DRAMA stars Julia Aks, Ta’imua, Samantha Smart, Nicole Alyse Nelson, Hugo Armstrong, Marilyn Brett, and Dustin Ingram.

Here’s hoping JANE AUSTEN’S PERIOD DRAMA brings home the gold!
