From Rebecca Norris's Script Reader Pro website: HOW TO USE SHORT MOVIE SCRIPTS TO BREAK INTO HOLLYWOOD
Some nice tips on how to structure, write and produce short film scripts. Interesting excerpt about how the writer of Whiplash created a short to create interest in the feature script:

Some nice tips on how to structure, write and produce short film scripts. Interesting excerpt about how the writer of Whiplash created a short to create interest in the feature script:
He [Damien Chazelle] said he wrote the feature, and despite its inclusion on the 2012 Blacklist, it was turned down everywhere, because no one wanted to make a "jazz drumming movie.-
Instead of giving up, he took one of the most intense scenes in the script and made an 18-minute short film out of it.
Based on the strength of his writing, he attracted J.K. Simmons (Juno, The Closer, etc.) to star.
The film was accepted to Sundance and went on to win the Short Film Jury Prize for U.S. Fiction. Suddenly there was plenty of interest in his feature film script, and the rest is history.
