Funny Or Die’s Amazon-Exclusive Short Films Have Arrived

Funny or Die and Amazon Video Direct have launched the next phase of their partnership. Three short films produced by the former company have arrived exclusively through the latter company’s platform.

The films, which were financed by Amazon Video Direct, represent a range of comedic styles. Soojung Dreams of Fiji, from writer SJ Son and director Hye Yun Park, is a mockumentary; creator Anna Kerrigan’s The Jury is set in a courtroom; and Ahamed Weinberg‘s Lovebirds is an a sitcom centered on an amateur ornithologist. To watch any of these projects, you’ll need an Amazon Prime account, which costs $99 per year.

Funny or Die announced its pact with Amazon Video Direct last month. The decade-old digital comedy brand previously released a project called The Real Stephen Blatt through Amazon’s year-old hub.
