Short Film and the Internet

BBC Film Network and Coffee Shorts are just two websites the internet has to offer full of short films. The internet alone has allowed the short film industry to grow and stay alive. The internet makes Short Film accessible to by anyone. It allows people to support indie film makers and watch short films that have won awards.

Allowing aspiring Film Directors to upload their short films on the internet allows them to gain recognition and also helps them get an audience for their work. Watching Short Films on the internet are also free of charge which means anyone can watch them without leaving you out of pocket.

Short film being on the internet will also open up the eyes of those who didn’t think they would like it. They will be enticed by the fact they can be very quirky, not predictable and that there is something for everyone.

Coffee Shorts in particular only upload by invite only, good, award winning Short Films so you can always expect quality when you go onto their website. Over time, Coffee Shorts has become one of the best known independent short film channels and has many of the best short films around. BBC Film Network tend to accept amateur work as well as widely recognised ones.

Both BBC Film Network and Coffee Shorts screen indie documentary films, short film animation and experimental short films.

Without the internet, short film would be harder to get around. It would be too expensive to put on TV or at the Cinema. The short film industry wouldn’t be the same.
