Blue Tongue Films
I was so impressed by David Michod's debut feature Animal Kingdom that I've spent the last few days stalking him and his friends on the internet. Turns out they have a film collective called BlueTonguefilms that have put out a swathe of excellent short films, including Crossbow (something of a precursor to Animal Kingdom) and Oscar Nominee Miracle Fish. Also don't miss the excellent Netherland Dwarf, or Nash Edgerton's Spider.
