Yes, short films do matter and are inspiring. I rather make a compilation of shorts than a feature. There's more to choose from...like said at the oscars, it's like picking a jewel out of a jewelry box. There is support for the shorts out there.

An interesting tidbit appeared on this year’s Oscars telecast. During the introduction to the short film categories, we got to see how certain filmmakers who won in the short category – John Lasseter for example – and went on to have big careers. I don’t remember seeing that correlation made before on the broadcast (apologies if I just never noticed) but was happy to see them now. Because lately I have become less sure about some people’s dedication to the short.
As a writer for The Smalls, I have seen my share of great to good, funny to silly, and just plain… experimental. But I personally love watching all of the films that appear on the site because, as at least one person in your life will tell you – ‘You never know’. There’s some great talent out there, working hard and waiting for their big break. And places like The Smalls and similar websites really take the time to make sure it remains as a platform for filmmakers.
So where are the films? That’s my question. And I don’t ask this because there aren’t enough brand new films on the site, but because there’s certainly not enough OLD films on there. We know there are hundreds, if not thousands of film school graduates with shorts kicking around in their desks or computers. Why haven’t we seen them? Why not just upload it, give it some new life?
And come to think of it, with
The Smalls Streets Sounds competition going on now, why not create add some sounds and resubmit it? I can’t speak for my colleagues, or for the many visitors to the site, but I would love to see some old films come here to get a chance at a new life.
