But short films are not inferior, just different. I think the short gives a freedom to film-makers. What's appealing is that you don't have as much responsibility for storytelling and plot. They can be more like a portrait, or a poem.

I love doing short films because they're much more intimate and there's far less waiting around than on the bigger films.

I guess short films have a bright future... The advantage is budget.

I think it's great to be able to go and watch a short film before you watch a feature.

I love film and, particularly, shorts. You don't get to see them often, and they're a great little form, like a short story.

I'm very happy with the success of short films. In fact, for me, the short films make more money than the features.

So far, I'm known for doing more commercial and glamorous roles. But I don't mind doing a short film.

I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. It's not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling.

The more you create, the more ambitious you become with your projects. Short films were a direct result of over 200 web series sketches and vlogs. After you create enough 2-minute videos, you start to wonder what else there is. Deadlines and discipline and quantity with a focus on quality have always been what keeps me going.

Short films don't go too far.
