Herbert White
2010 · Film · short · 14 min
Directed by James Franco
Michael Shannon stars in the role of Herbert White, a character based on the poem of the same name by Frank Bidart. The story follows Herbert as he works in the lumber industry, supports his family, and stalks and murders women he picks up in town. While Herbert is not exactly sympathetic, viewers are allowed to enter the mind of a serial killer, and realize that most of the time he behaves like everyone else. Movies like “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer” have done this before, but to successfully position the audience inside the mind of a complex human monster in 14 short minutes is quite a feat.

These are "Movies" in the sense that they're moving pictures, not necessarily feature-length films with >$1M budget - for example, this 14 minute movie titled Herbert White[0]. They do all seem to be hosted on YouTube, though, and the few I clicked on were all public domain, so there shouldn't be much illegal about them.
