20 Up-and-Coming Short Films / VHS Aesthetic Accounts on Instagram (2026)

The biggest names in short films / vhs aesthetic get all the attention, but the most actionable insights come from accounts that are still in the climb. These 20 creators are between 1,000 and 15,000 followers — already finding their voice, still hungry, and worth following now before everyone else does.
All pulled from Magnet's 13M-profile IG database, filtered to the rising-creator follower range and ranked by reach within that bucket.

📈 Rising creators
Filtered to accounts with 1K-15K followers, then ranked by reach within that band — so you find rising creators, not mega-accounts.
