The sheer volume of short films that can be watched for free online will make your head spin. Many film-makers still balk at the idea of putting their work on the internet, but the advantages are hard to ignore, even if it means forfeiting revenue to gain publicity. A film that strikes a chord can be watched by hundreds of thousands, even millions of people, who will offer feedback and support and perhpas recommend it to their friends. The rise of YouTube and more high-brow sharing sites such as Vimeo means that, now, the humble short has a mainstream, global audience. The past decade has seen an explosion of video online. But shorts can be much more than exercises or glorified showreels innovative, daring, thought-provoking things can be done in two minutes – or 12 or 22 – that simply wouldn't work at feature length. This is in part because the short has come to be viewed as a practice space for student film-makers or a calling card to show that those involved are fit to make a "proper" film, ie a feature. The curious thing about short films is that, regardless of audience and financial incentive, people have continued to make them with great enthusiasm. Now all you have to do, assuming you have internet access and a passing familiarity with video-hosting websites, is switch on your computer.
