I always love that stuff. If you can't afford to do a feature then do a short.

Awesome thread RB. I’d no idea these features began as shorts. Goes to show the “Golden Goose” may be of our own making & instead of searching outside search within and produce the Ace from up our own sleeve.

What a great list! AJFF screened both the short & feature of Shiva Baby, it was interesting to see the evolution of both films in real time.
