Short Film Scripts

There are many types and genres of film scripts. Many tell a story, send out a strong message or shock the audience. These techniques are vital in a short film as the audiences attention and interest must be kept as there is a shorter amount of time to allow the film to be successful.
Some successful short film scripts are found through film festivals. Here, people can enter their own film to be judged.
The Awards for the 61st Edinburgh International Film Festival went to
Control, We Are Together and Billy the Kid
Control by Anton Corbijn was presented with 2 awards; Best New British Feature Film and the Award for Best Performance in a British Feature Film.
The Skillset New Directors Award went to Lucia Puenzo for the short film; XXY. Teen orientated, this film is about a 15-year-old hermaphrodite. This is an example of controversial scripts that are often used in short films.
