Creativity involves a leap of faith and confidence – faith in the creative process: ultimately art is a journey not directed by product but by the passage of thought, vision, intensive observation, time, and commitment and that is “SHORT film making” A SHORT FILM is a broad category of visual expressions that is based on the attempt.

It has subsequently expanded to include video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video or made for a television series.
