Georg Csarmann / Vienna Contributor / @georgcsarmann Recently I had the opportunity to give a guest lecture at my alma mater to talk about S/W, online curation and short films in general. It was the perfect occasion to think about how the state of short-filmmaking and online distribution has changed in the past 7 years since I came on-board of S/W.
It is April 18th, the first day in which you can make reservations via Tribeca's new online distribution system in order to "virtually attend" the screenings of 9 new short films, 9 "classic" shorts and 6 new features. The process is really simple.

As short film curators, we often get asked the broad question: why make a short film? After all, they tend to be money losers, and even if you do capture lightning in a bottle and manage to go viral, that doesnt necessarily translate to fame and fortune. So, why do it? Well, there is a popular assertion that a short film can be a pivotal stepping stone to a feature.
