What is a Short Film?

• A short film is any film that isn't long enough to be considered as a feature film.
• Short films tend to be brief between 5-30 minutes.
• In the Hollywood studios from the 1930s-1950s a short film was a cartoon which was approximately 6-7 minutes.
• In Britain, Channel 4 was the main area in which short films were featured.
• Short films tend to involve cliffhangers at the end or a montage of time.
  

• However the issue with short films is that very few would want to pay to see a short film.
• Therefore there is a very slim chance of making profit out of it.
