Short film festivals

• Short film festivals are a great chance for aspiring filmmakers to demonstrate their work
• Many people like to share their work with other filmmakers but the main reason to enter a short film festival is to get your film picked up by a director and made into a feature length film or get funding for future films
• One of the first short film festivals was created by Shane Meadows called ''Six of the Best''
• Six of the best was held in a local cinema where entrants paid a small fee for a chance to get their short films displayed in front of an audience
• The festival was a huge success and has now become international 
• Other short film festivals are Encounters short film festival, London Short film festival, Bang! Short film festival, Los Angeles international shirt film festival and Renderyard short film festivals
