benefits-

- Short films chould be made as a 'trial run' process - you dont need to have proper film equpiment and rental would be less.

 Difficulties-
 - Some actresses and actors may not want to take part in a short film as they are not seen as a 'proper' film so people who are making them may find it hard to find poeple to be in the films.
- They are not looked at as 'real' films so if youre trying to create a short film and make profit this may be a problem.
- Its harder for a film to make sence if there is a lot of meaning to it and trying to tell a whole story in less than 40 minutes.
