Why do Short films get made?

Why make  Short Films?

One of the main reasons why short films get made is through one's passion for films. One other reason why short films get made it so obtain experience in the subject, by experimenting with people and putting together a team to make a short film. One other reason would be that in order to further one's passion of film-making  the best thing you can do is to practice and demonstrate the kind of skills you receive through learning how to make a film. One other good thing about making films is that you cam try working with different people and see if you can go collaborate on projects in the future. If you do manage to find a high-profile director/writer/actor, one might be able to raise your own film-making profile, or maybe, want to use your film to elevate your own industry profile. One other one would be that you have a certain story that you think would work well on screen and you want to try it out on a small scale first and see if it is successful. 

Short films are a condensed version, or a scene from an intended feature film, but some people like that fact that one is in control with a short film, because the expenses are modest, and usually from their own personal budget. Another good reason to do a short is that feature films tend to have fleshed out characters and complicated story-lines and plots. However, you don't have the time to do that on a short film, so it becomes less about the characters and the development of them and more about the concept, or the 'big picture'. It is more about the idea of easily identifiable characters being portrayed to exemplify a notion or theme.
