Can short filmmaking be a career?

“Can Short Filmmaking Be a Career?" is a question that many emerging filmmakers grapple with. Short films are often seen as stepping stones, a trampoline of sorts, to a career in feature filmmaking. And indeed, they can be. However, it's important to remember that short filmmaking is not just a means to an end. It is an art form in its own right, with its own unique demands and rewards. A panel discussion that will be seeking to expand horizons, inspire, challenge and enlighten on new possibilities in the short film industries.
