Short films really helped me develop as a story teller, animator, and as a director.

I made short films in school.

Pixar's short films convinced Disney that if the company could produce memorable characters within five minutes, then the confidence was there in creating a feature film with those abilities in story and character development.

Short films don't go too far.

I love film, and I love short films.

I have a lot of incomplete short films and incomplete scripts out there.
