Contemporary Film-makers and Shorts Production... ... ...
SHORT FILMS = A Creative Space Well that definitely counts for me anyway.
The realisation is that funding is awful and most don't make money from making short films.
But that won't stop me from making them.
Getting the film shown in a "good" place is equally as difficult. Television, the different film festivals and the new digital age (internet) has proved to be useful to wannabe short film directors wanting to show their creations.
Advice... show iniative.... the company Levi supported film festivals and started to show short films on monitors at their flagship London Store after seeing a link between short films and people who buys its products. Levi's supported the production of four short films with Alliance Atlantis Reading. Levi's said the short films should be commercially viable and shown in cinemas, not just seen as a cultural product. They were successfully released with features and were shown on virgin airlines and one even helped to open Film Four.
Conclusion... Keep at it, keep commited... short films are essential for the future development of the moving image and of film-makers.
