Coming back and "The ABCs of Death" Challenge

After a long time since I abandoned this, I'm coming back to the blog (I hope this time I keep going with it...). 

For my return, I've got prepared some sort of challenge. Some weeks ago it was announced the second part of "The ABCs of Death". For those who don't know the first one, I'll say it was formed by a group of 26 segments, each one directed by a different filmmaker. The idea was that every director had to create a short film focused on death and the title had to start with a designated letter from the alfabet (A is for Apocalypse, for example). I'll write with more details about this curious experiment and I'll analyse every single segment from the 26, but now I wanted to comment another thing... . 

From those 26 segments, one of the letters (the T) was left so everyone could get a chance to send his/her own project for a contest. Lee Hardcastle was the winner for this first part with the segment "T is for Toilet". He does claymation and. I really recommend to take a look into his youtube channel (search him on google and enjoy his short films!)  

This year, with the second film project, here it comes the contest second edition, and my boyfriend and I are willing to send our segment. This time the letter is M and we already have a screenplay, so I'll keep you updated. 

But not everyone in "The ABCs of Death" are amateurs trying to get some fame. As I said before, both parts have 26 short films in total, so 25 of those are from well-known filmmakers (some of them more than others). Is the first part we have directors like Jason Eisener (Hobo with a shotgun, Treevenge), Srdjan Spasojevic (A Serbian Film), Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes), Ben Wheatley (Sightseers), Xavier Gens (Frontière(s), Adam Wingard (VHS, You're next) y so many others. 

Well, my challenge will consist in watching at least one film (or short) from every director involved in the second part. So here you have the list of filmmakers, with the movies I've already seen (V) and the ones I still have to watch (P).
