Show Notes
In this episode of The Directors' Take podcast, your hosts Oz Arshad and Marcus Anthony Thomas are joined by absolutely no-one this week, as we decided to create a list of the short films that have inspired them.

-What is a concept short film? -Should you use voice over in your short? -The use of vignettes in short films to expand time. -When is it appropriate to do a one take short? -Traditional narrative shorts and authored voices. -When should you do a proof of concept short?
