“Aside from being popular in film festivals, short films can act as a calling card for budding filmmakers. They can showcase acting, technical, or screenwriting talent and act as a barometer for the market appetite for a short film. They can attract more influential talent to help them build a career. In other cases, short films are the first step to something bigger.”
Has anyone here made a feature film, TV series, etc. from a short film? What was the experience like?

I've been meaning to watch "Whiplash," Kevin Jackson. It's on Netflix, so I might watch it this week.

This is a great list! Whiplash, both the short and the feature are SO good! But so are the rest of these examples.

YASS!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I think part of the discussion should also be - when should you do a scene directly from the large property, and when should you just bottle its essence?

That’s cool. I haven’t seen all of these. Great to know there is a path sometimes for short films to grow up and be a feature!
