    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.

    Retro Short Films: Tribeca 2011 Film Festival

    Tribeca's (Online) Film Festival this year is quite extensive: 6 feature films, 9 in-competition shorts and these—9 "retro" shorts from the festival's past, all available for free! We'll cover this year's competition shorts in a series of forthcoming posts, but remember that Tribeca has their own spin on this online thing, so make sure to reserve a 24-hour screening window for each film in advance. These 9 retro shorts are a bit easier to manage, rather than signing up for specific 24-hour screening periods, they are available to view at any time between now and May 1st.
