Tips For Filmmakers
Short documentary films can serve as a training ground for new filmmakers or a fertile space for experienced directors to try a new storytelling approach. The key to a successful short documentary is to choose a subject that you deeply care about and make the best use of this very brief format. Every moment counts.
