A short film is a film that is not long enough to be considered a feature film. The modern era short films are occasionally broadcast as filler when a feature film does not fit the standard broadcast schedule. The first ever channel dedicated to short film was “ShortsTV” which broadcasted in France, Belgium, Luxemburg, and Turkey. However, short films must rely mainly on festival exhibition to reach an audience. Short films today are distributed on the internet with certain websites encouraging the submission of user created short films such as YouTube, Vimeo, Openfilm, BritFilms and Newgrounds. These have attracted a large number of artists with sites like the BBC film network focusing on showcasing curated short films. Creating short films is normally the first stage for young film makers but some professional actors and crew still make these short films in order to show expression. The main purpose of these short films most of the time is to showcase your talents by sending them to festivals to be seen.
