  Forms of distribution  Another way of film distribution would be either local film festivals or national film festivals. Entering the short film into one of these festivals could cause it to be notices for its individualistic qualities by an indie film company, such as Warp films.  Other methods might include short film competitions such as the Virgin Shorts.
