    Watch Sundance 2014 Short Films!

    Yesterday afternoon saw the announcement of Sundance's short film lineup for 2014, 66 short films that will play Park City this upcoming January.

    Interview: San Francisco Film Festival Shorts Directors

    Making a great short film requires a certain kind of alchemy; because there are no hard-set rules in regards to running time, subject matter, or even medium, filmmakers traverse a tricky path on the road to festival -- and online audience -- acceptance. I was lucky enough to sit down at the San Francisco International Film Festival with a few of the shorts filmmakers that were in attendance and get insight into their process, ask what lessons they learned on their latest productions, and find out what they believe makes a good short film.
