Short films in general are forgiving in their nature to miss out on character development, be rather simplistic or have short production time, however there is less freedom to expand a universe or flesh out ideas. In relation to film funding, including too much in a film idea, leaving it confusing and sub-par, lowers the chance of a film-maker having their film funded.
Finding someone to fund your script or finding the money to fund it yourself is a difficult task, film-makers in more recent years can rely on social media outlets and websites such as 'Kickstarter' which is a global project contributing website that helps projects raise the funds they need. Also using social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, film-makers can get their ideas seen to a greater audience than ever before.
Within the UK, the BFI work with the National Lottery provide ways for film-makers to gain funding. This development was done so that the BFI could support film-makers across the UK, through 'film production, distribution, education, audience development and market research'.
