Short Films That Were Made into Full Length Films…

This post is me thinking out loud. I can shoot “Glo” as a short using my own money, enter it into film festivals, find producer/distributor or raise the money before. I’m presently attaching folks, and checking out funding sources. But I’m itching to shoot something too.

So these films made into shorts to garner attention (which they did) are really encouraging right now.

“Dennis” extended into “Teddy Bear”.

Shane Acker’s “9” extended into… “9”.

“Some Folks Call It A Sling Blade” extended to “Sling Blade”.

“Gowanus, Brooklyn” extended to “Half Nelson”.

If you’ve seen any other the larger films, wouldn’t you agree making a short from the screenplays was worth the effort? Turned out well, through and through.

I’m so excited.
