Biggest Difference: Short Films Are About Events — Features Are About Arcs

from A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach · host Phil Svitek

Most filmmakers try to cram a character arc into a short film — and that’s where they go wrong. In this episode, I break down why short films should focus on a single event that grabs the viewer, while feature films rely on a full arc that lets us connect and care. Learn how this mindset shift can transform your storytelling approach, whether you’re making a 5-minute short or a 2-hour feature.🚀 Looking for a Creative Collaborator or Coach?Whether you need help launching a podcast, shaping your story, editing a video, or navigating the artist’s life—I’m here to help.✅ Work with me: https://philsvitek.com/collaborate/
