Short Filmmakers in India

Short Film Mantra has a team of talented short filmmakers in India. We have now introduced a new YouTube channel for short films and videos. The short film made by the Short Film Mantra team has been featured and praised in various film festivals around the country.

We are a generation that has grown up watching feature films, which would vary in length from two hours to three and a half hours, thus you might wonder what would classify as a short film. A short film can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.
