The idea that short films don’t have a market in Nigeria is a notion that has been peddled for a while in our society, and has created more harm than good to the film Industry. While the notion might have some level of truth to it, it has demoralized filmmakers who have interest in making short films and also closed the doors of opportunity for these filmmakers. Apart from creating short films as proof of work to get the opportunity to create feature films or series, the truth is; there cannot be a market for short films if no one creates that Market.
A short film that would be selected to be on The Filmjoint Premieres must have an exceptional storytelling style that captures the viewer's attention and immerses them in the story. Importantly, these films must have excellent picture quality, sound design, visual effects, and editing. They must also have a global message.
