Hey every one,
I'm new to the forum and relatively new to film making as well. I've seen a lot of people on here mention creating short films for their first few projects. I've also seen some amazing shorts in the Showcase section of the forum that were made on unbelievably low budgets (according to the creators).
Are shorts created to develop a portfolio for a film maker who could use them to show prospective studios and producers?
Or are shorts created to pitch an idea, that the film maker is trying to raise money for or sell to a producer or something along those lines?
Or is it something else?
I'm sure this is a newbie question and I appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
Zain
