Short Films

Why make them?, how can they help us in our artistic march? how do they differ from the feature? and does every director have a short?

well............

At first because you have no budget to go and do a feature ,so a short sounds perfect, where the actors sometimes might be your mum,dad,cousin ,neighbour, that drunk guy at the bus stop....anyone really.and it requires fewer resources 

Because its Fun and it's good to experiment, ,its all about getting a camera and start filming , try the shot from this angle and then try it from the other .

Because its experience ,even big directors ,gain experience, every time they shoot something new ,wether its short, feature ,tv or tvc.

Of course we should not forget ,that you are making it to tell a story , it doesn't matter what is its

 genre as long as their is something you are trying to deliver.

If you have a feature, you do a short of it, so you can have a vibe of it.

And the most important of all ,is to put your foot in the door, therefore you do a short, and you enter it in short film festival, so you and your work ,can get recognised by others, and by others, i mean producers and money makers!!

Now its not a rule ,that every director must have short film before making a feature ,but i guess all of the directors did so many shorts before hitting their big ones.
