This is a film I worked on earlier this summer as location manager. It's a series of 5 episodes, 7 minutes long, about a dog that runs away from its owner.
It's called 'Dog & Bone' and was filmed in Chiswick and Twickenham (London, UK) in early June. I was responsible for finding and managing all seven locations including the bus. Not a very senior role, but it nevertheless occupied me full time for about a month.
You can download the full thing here:

Quite a large download, I'm afraid: 38MB
We've been encouraged by the director to distribute it as far as possible, and to encourage people to visit the web site -- http://www.micromovie-series.com/ -- where, incidentally, you can stream the first two minutes of it, if you'd rather -- so I'm taking that as permission to make it available here. I'm trying to be subtle, though, so I haven't mentioned any of the names of the cast or crew, which would make this page easy to find via a search engine. (Timmy, is there a robots.txt to prevent that?)
I emailed some of you a YouTube link a few days ago. It's the same film, but all seven minutes of it rather than just the first minute.
You can direct comments at me, but it ain't my film, so I'm not in a position to apologise for the continuity errors, mistakes, dodgy bits etc.

The entire forum is picked up by Google. The reason is that people need to find it. So no robots.txt to prevent it

Why would anyone complain?

'Cos I'm not the copyright holder. That's Andreas.
The video on my web site I ripped from a cast-and-crew-and-prospective-members-of-the-media DVD.

As a pedant, I should explain that when I said prospective-members-of-the-media I meant prospective clients/producers from within TV and film and advertising: people who might commission Andreas to make a commercial for them. Not people who are considering joining the media. There would be no commercial use in aiming it at them.
Actually, the key problem with distributing the film myself is that there's no way for Andreas or BenQ to know who downloaded it, and thus how successful it is. That's why I'd recommend people visit http://www.micromovie-series.com/ or http://www.benq-siemens.com/dogandbone/ as well.
http://www.benq-siemens.com/dogandbone/ also has a director's commentary paragraph at the bottom, for those that are interested. The bus came from the Cobham Bus Museum, not the London Transport Museum, though: that was a mistake.
