Film makers may choose to make a short film if:
- They are starting out and want to showcase their skills, without needing a large budget.
- They want to tackle a difficult subject, which more commercially minded films may choose to avoid.
- They want to make a film, but choose a subject which only needs a small amount of screen time.
- They want a short film to accompany a larger film or TV show ie. pixar short films.
- Directors prefer avante garde, abstract or arthouse films which would not suit a full film.
