This page holds a few details about Calum’s motion picture endeavours – but admittedly the Calum’s Mith Pictures Facebook page usually has the most up-to-date info about screenings etc.
My Life, My Life, My Life; a Ghost Story.
First there was the heartbreak of losing a sister. Then there was the terror of getting her back.
Check out this trailer! Very excited to finish and release this film soon!
Allison just wanted a quiet night with her boyfriend – but her sister is back from the grave with other plans. Now facing Julia’s specter is half the battle – but confronting PTSD and survivor guilt is the real war.
“My Life, My Life, My Life; a Ghost Story,” is an upcoming short horror film written and directed by Calum Smith. Stay tuned for production details!
All Across The World
We all know that the Earth is flat, and that the round illusion is a massive hoax. But have you ever stopped to think about the people who make that hoax happen? In this totally serious and not at all tongue-in-cheek documentary, we meet Deb and Dan Henshaw, a couple of honest folks working hard to build a better world.

Mine Forever
In a short film that was once nominated for “Best Romantic Comedy” and “Best Horror or Thriller” in the same festival, despite not being either of those things, Calum explores the uncomfortable duality of romantic posessiveness.
There’s a fine line between love and obsession.

The Boy Who Set Himself on Fire
Calum’s short film from 2007 found its protagonist vowing to make the ultimate sacrifice to make a point about sweatshop labour.
Interestingly, Kiesa (Kiesza) Ellestad, who played the female lead in the film, would later become a popular singer, with hits including Hideaway, Giant in My Heart and Sound of a Woman.
Electric Parasites
And just for funzies, here’s a music video I made way back when for a band called Gloom Room . . . which probably doesn’t exist anymore. Too bad, they were kind of awesome.
