when scrolling through the social media we come across short films/pocket films. Quite often, these videos range from 4min – 25 min. Most of them are preachy or address a social issue. Some of them are about awareness generation, some about the people and their struggles, some portray the stories of characters from marginalized sections of the society and some are down right emotional. All of them do carry a message.

Though the content or technicality of making these mini-video’s within a shoe – string budget is not so great, the fact remains that it provides employment opportunity – direct and indirect – to a handful of budding artists and technicians. And, the regional pocket films are meant for a certain section of the audience and it reaches them.

Movies- in a mini- sized – are a good form of entertainment, no doubt and an effective way to discover good and new talent.
