We've all seen YouTube clips with millions of online views featuring talking dogs, dancing girls and established music artists; but finding really well made independent shorts can be hard work, which means no solid audiences can really develop and thousands of talented individuals miss out on all the buzz and ad revenue they're helping create.
As a matter of priority, check out their blog entry on film festivals, particularly short film festivals...... Coffee Shots recommends.....
