Short Filmmakers always look for things that are unseen or the ideas they have that needs to be put in action whether it’d be dramatic, entertaining or inspirational. A Short filmmaker should find his/her interest in the littlest of things, understand it, review it and then come to a conclusion on what works should be done. Social media has too many of short films these days and if they’re good, people love it! And that is exactly what is needed to happen. If you have increased number of viewers then you are good to go.

There was a kid in England who made thousands and thousands of soft toys just to give them to the kids with severe cancers in hospitals because the boy just thought that the kids would be lonely and need some company, how thoughtful of him and his story was made into a short film where it was also shown that the boy’s father was also diagnosed with cancer earlier and the boy made a toy for his father just so that the father don’t get any pain with the sickness. The boy was just happy with the smiles he got when he offered his toys to the kids. You see! one can do a lot many things with short films and stories, interesting stories are told to the people that they need to know and people actually receive something from these stories.

Hearing out to everyone is very necessary because one doesn’t live in the situation of others and when you tell people these stories through films, it becomes more of a reason. There is no doubt that people won’t react to your short films if all these matters are included. Always find a way to inspiration, explore your mind in many possible ways, give your thoughts and ideas a chance to speak through films and make it informative as well as entertaining. In this era of the world, the film speaks in a better way to let the stories be told.

There is no harm in letting the world know what you can do and as a matter of fact if you believe it, you can do it and if you are good at it positive energy flows everywhere. So, HAPPY FILMING!
