Okay, for some advice, “7 Things to Know About Making Short
Films”, by Russell Haussenauer, from 2013, from his Friday 101 series, for Indy
Mogul.
He names a couple of examples where directors got started
with short films, like Martin Scorsese and shaving.
The maximum length for a short film is supposed to be 40 minutes,
but keeping them under 15 minutes, or even under 10, offers a better chance of
their getting into film festivals – and possibly hitting the Oscar circuit.
It’s often useful to make a short film that is later made
into a feature, to get investor money. Jorge Ameer did this with “The House of
Adam” (2006). I think this could work with “Bugcrush” (2006). What really happened to Ben? You might want to redo the opening with
younger actors.
