Collateral Damage is a Canadian dramatic short film, directed by Leonard Farlinger and released in 1993.[1] The film stars Gary Farmer as Glen, a counter clerk in a diner who is surprised when a news anchor (David Nichols) stops reporting on the Gulf War and begins talking directly to him through the television set.[2] The cast also includes Michael Mahonen and Gabrielle Rose as customers of the diner.[2]

The film had its theatrical premiere in 1993 at the Montreal World Film Festival,[3] but was distributed primarily as an episode of the Global Television Network's New Producers Series anthology of short films by emerging Canadian directors.[2]

The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 15th Genie Awards in 1994.[4]
