- Developing motion picture films at the drug store in the ‘90s
- Why shorts are a great medium to learn and experiment
- Working at festivals and movie theaters
- Receiving over 12,000 short submissions in 2024
- Disadvantages of creating long shorts
- Differences in funding international shorts
- Seeing many different types of voices, stories, and styles
- Sundance shorts that later became features
- What makes you a filmmaker
- What Sundance looks for in a short
Memorable Quotes

- “Your 30-minute short has to be better than three, 10-minute shorts.” [12:25]
