There is plenty around. B&H has several Fuji & Kodak print film cassettes
with 12 exposures each.

Does anyone of 135 film being sold in 12 exposure cassettes?
It's really fun to work with the Rolleikin2 rig, but 25 or 37
vertically oriented shots is sometimes too much to work through.

Or am I going to have to learn to "bulk" load?

E.
A curios thing is that when adaptors like the Rolleikin first appeared on the market mid or late 1930's) color films for 35mm cameras were available on short rolls. These were anywhere from 24 exposures down to about 8 expsosures. The reason was simply the cost of the film and processing. 
  Also, Kodakchrome was first available for _still_ cameras in 35mm only.

Richard und alles,
I remember when 35mm film was available on SPOOLS with opaque paper leader and trailer for insertion in Leica and Contax cassettes It was available in short lengths, as I recall.
