This is an article I wrote for somewhere in late 2011. Hard to believe I wrote it without any research or any real purpose. It seems to tee up a series of short film reviews. I didn’t do any so I can only hope someone else did – otherwise I might be a tad over deadline. So maybe I’ll start now. Just posting short film reviews – or just ones to be celebrated. Yea.
There is no money in short films – for the most part. Personally the idea of a cinema that shows a constant stream of shorts, or a television channel devoted to short films exclusively sounds rather delightful. But with the accessibility of video content and video sharing becoming almost as easy as pie over the Web, the appearance of short film production companies are making this a conceivable future. Not likely, but conceivable.
