A caption of this website states the following:
The great thing about shorts is that they can be anything – the only limit beyond the cost of production is that of your own imagination. So don't be hemmed in let your imagination fly. Play with your ideas. Play with the form. Every short can and should be a unique vision.
Film is about telling stories in pictures, which is the most economical way of
telling a story – and in the making of shorts, economy is everything. Remember
the golden rule of film making: show, don't tell. The idea and story can be focused
enough in scope to exist entirely in the viewer's head, and so logic and time can
play a much smaller role in the journey from beginning to end than in other
formats.

The best short films are often a moment that is played out, but one that has a
story at its heart a conflict that has to be resolved, where there's a deadline to
the action, where there's a choice that a character has to make. You should
always try to tell a story. Short films aren't an excuse to break all the rules – but
they are an opportunity to push the boundaries of what cinematic storytelling can
do.
