I was thinking about the definition of a short film:
The Rules for the Oscars (why aim lower? :D 8-} ) define it as follows:
"A short film is defined as an original motion picture that has a running time of not more than 40 minutes, including all credits."
That seems sufficiently vague for our cause, although 40 minutes seem way too long...

Any ideas? :-\

yes that is vague enough for us and i agree 100% that we should aim sky high for this otherwise there is no point.
I have an idea that id like to put forward myself and am just putting together a synopsis and a few rough sketches.
40 mins is long....very very long, i recon we aim around the 2-5mins margin?

And purely as a little bit of inspiration:
"French Roast" would be my number 1 choice in the short film category at the 2010 Academy Awards:
Go see it here: French Roast

(yes, I know I could've embedded it, but I didn't want to,
as it's not directly si-community related... :-?? )
