IMC 040 - What's the Point of Making Short Films?

Why make short films? Really? Who's watching them? What should you expect from them? What kind of plan should you have to gain viewership? Should you only do shorts for competitions? Should you make a trailer or a few scenes of a longer movie? Should you just make features? These questions pondered as we read some old bl0g from kylegilman.net.

First discussions about this year's 48.
