Produced by Fat Cat Productions in 2005, "Soldier Boy" was the world's shortest feature film at the time. The film was made with the purpose of a large company using the film as an advertising promotion. The movie went on to be featured in the Guinness Book of World Records and was purchased by a regional company as a sponsor for Fat Cat Productions' website. "It was a really long process," director Les Sholes said. "You wouldn't think that about a movie that was only a few seconds long, but there was a lot of time and people involved in its production."
