When you dream of being a filmmaker you probably imagine diving straight into bringing the next big-budget film to life. But in reality, unless your uncle is a Producer at Netflix, you need to start small. So let us present to you our pathway to achieving your dreams. Let’s start with an overview of the role of short films in breaking into the film industry.

Short films are how you get your name out there. 

They’re short enough for people to warrant sitting through them and seeing what you have to offer without committing too much of their time to something they can’t possibly know the quality of. Think of them as the film production version of a resume. It’s a quick, easy, way to see what you bring to the table before committing more time to looking at the broader picture. 

Creativity is born of constraint.

The limitations imposed in the production of a short film force you to push your creativity beyond what is good, what is mediocre to perhaps something great and remarkable. You must find a way to make a compelling and meaningful story, in just a handful of pages. There is no better way to develop your storytelling craft.

The film industry is cutthroat. 

All aspects of filmmaking are highly competitive and the vast majority of movie makers never get to see their work on the silver screen. That’s where ShortFilmX comes in. We provide the competitive edge that may mean the difference between success and failure. Our short film production services are the launch pad from which you have the tools and the knowledge to begin your filmmaking career with confidence.

We work with aspiring film production professionals to help develop their craft. Our clients are of all ages and backgrounds, if you have a story to tell, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in your filmmaking skills, we’re here to help.

Why choose ShortFilmX? 

At ShortFilmX, we drop the textbooks and classroom standards for practical, real-world, filmmaking. After all, there’s a world of difference between a certificate that says you can do something and a physical embodiment of your work, your creativity and your storytelling abilities.

What do we do? 

We focus heavily on guiding new filmmakers through the filmmaking process, starting with the production of your first short film.  Our production packages include script consultations, pre-production planning and casting, right through to the creation of your shooting script and shot list. Once you feel ready for production, we provide you with all the filmmaking equipment that your shoot requires and a Shoot Technician on set, by your side from first to last take.

Filmmaking Education.

You can go to a film school and learn everything by the books, but like many career paths, a strong theoretical knowledge isn’t enough for success… With ShortFilmX, you dive right into real world filmmaking, you start developing real world filmmaking skills and a showreel that demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a filmmaker.
