FAQ for Filmmakers

Shortly is a video-on-demand platform for short formats only. We are here to make short formats easy to share and easy to watch, and to provide a way for filmmakers of short formats to visability. Filmmakers submit their films and viewers sign up to watch.

There is much debate about this, but at Shortly a short film must contain some form of narrative or concept and be between one minute and 59 minutes and 59 seconds long.
