As a young filmmaker I like taking inspiration from existing short films and viewing them to see how they use the camera to implicate different things and also demonstrate their emotions through the camera. If you like viewing short films for inspiration you can visit festival such as the BFI London film festival which will be happening from the 4th of October all the way up to the 15th of October, this will be happening in London, South Bank.

Distribution & Exhibition
The key players in film distribution are the big companies such as BFI (British Film Institute, 20th Century Fox. Lionsgate, Icon Film Distribution, Paramount Picture UK, Sony Picture Releasing, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Universal Pictures UK and Warner Bros. Short films can be distributed in many different way a high level of this would be the cinema where however in order for the movie to be shown in the cinema it would have to have had some recognition prior to the shown as it wouldn’t be shown in cinema’s otherwise. Also for people to go see the movie in cinema they would have to know about the short film privately because cinemas don’t usually advertise short films.
