The power of a shorter film is often underestimated because of the popularity of long films. However, the short film is a powerful tool to convey the art of film by placing liberating constrictions of time. Because of the time constrictions there is less time available for introduction, back story, explanations or other such maintenance parts of film. Instead the best part of the movie, the climax, composes the majority percent of actual film time. In addition, every detail of the film can be masterfully analyzed because there is less content to review.
By placing restrictions on the usual amount of time, short films have removed all the fluff and replaced it with solid watchable material that keeps the viewer on the edge of your seat. Shorter films have been able to capture a wide variety of topics and emotions simply unsuitable to longer films and have masterfully left viewers simultaneously satisfied and desperate for more. In addition, short films are simply easier to make yet still able to show-case the vision and passion of film-makers. Many short films that have potential are sponsored by movie makers to expand upon the idea or universe to make a feature length film.
