Film Making: The Short v. Feature Length

Eric Lorge

over 4 years ago

Hello all. I am thinking about doing a film in Mexico with my brother. We are both in graduate school; (he’s in film school and I am philosophy) and so we will be doing this on a bare bones budget.

My question is this; aside from the obvious pluses and minuses (cost, time, etc.), what are the main benefits of doing a SHORT as opposed to just going the extra mile and making it FEATURE length?

Thanks for your time.
