Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap praises short films to the skies saying they're the most productive type of filmmaking because they aren't made with any particular motive in mind. "For me, short films are the purest type of filmmaking because when you're making it, you make it simply because you
want to. You aren't making it for it to be sold, you aren't deliberating an audience, you aren't taking into account anyone," the 39-year-old said here Sunday on the launch of the web site Largeshortfilms.com.
"You are just creating a film and hoping it's going to do something. You aren't making it to thrill anyone," he added.
The website can have filmmakers present a sequence of short films on the way to be officially premiered. Ad filmmaker and television producer Omar Haider is the person behind Largeshortfilms.com.
Kashyap, who's riding high at the success of Gangs of Wasseypur, believes that short films have a larger impact.
"Short films for me are largely director-driven and so they roughly converge to 1 point. Feature film may also be driven by many factors - cinematography, music, talent, story-telling and actors, you get the potential for everything. But short films are somehow to the purpose... they make one, solitary, larger impact," he said.
