The Circuit

Will the Sundance short filmmakers from 2008 actually do better financially than their feature film colleagues?

After the lackluster sales of features this year, Sundance has put most of their short film selection (including Ken Wardrop's "Farewell Packets of Ten," pictured) for sale on iTunes, Xbox, and Netflix.

As The Circuit reported back in December, short filmmakers stand to make some cash:

According to Sundance online producer Joe Beyer, some veterans of the 2007 short films program have seen revenue in the "tens of thousands of dollars," even after iTunes and the Sundance Institute took their fees. 

Anne T. explores why this kind of distribution hasn't taken off for features yet.
