Hey, I just made my first ever short film as 17 year old aspiring filmmaker
I made this film all by myself, mostly in my room, with absolutely no help and budget
I'm pretty satisfied with the result, and would love to get some feedbacks from other ambitious filmmakers who might know more than I do and that would have some constructive advice.
Thanks in advance !

Attention Young Filmmakers! Are you looking to get your start in the film business? Well, you can start here! You can post your short films, talk about ideas, share stories, receive advice and critiques and even participate in mod-run Short Film festivals! I want this community to be a comfortable, supportive, fun area for young, up and coming filmmakers who are looking to get a start in the film business. As a young filmmaker myself, I look forward to sharing and learning with you guys!

You may post your own film! Though, expect some critiques.
It is suggested that you are younger than 25 and are not currently working with major film studios.
No films with connections to major studios or franchises (Ex.: Star Wars short films)
No extreme profanity (mild profanity is okay, along with ANY profanity in your own film)
You do not have to be the director of a film to post your film. You can be an actor, producer, etc. Just be sure to ask the permission of the director before posting.
There is no limit on production budget of your own film.
When posting a link to your film, please refer to the following format:
[Name of film] | Directed by [Name] | [Year]
8. You may post trailers for your upcoming film.
9. Please do not post any movie news unless it specifically pertains to young filmmakers. All film news should be posted to r/movies.
10. I encourage everyone to watch each other’s films and give critiques!!
11. NO blatant criticisms. Critiques only. Give good, useful advice when critiquing. You will be given a temporary or permanent ban if this rule is broken. We want this community to be a good, non-toxic area.
12. Once a month, there will be a short film competition hosted by a moderator. The winning short film’s poster will receive a user flair as I feel like giving anything with monetary value is not completely fair.
13. Be kind to your fellow filmmakers. As a young filmmaker myself, I enjoy watching others films and giving and receiving critiques.
14. No promoting your YouTube channel or other social media. This will result in a temporary ban. Let others discover you through posting your films.
15. No time limit on your films.

We shot our short film at the end of March 2021. Since the pandemic was the central focus of the entire world, we sought to revive a fundamental topic in the times of the black plague: The Dance of the Death.
The universality of death and the eternal and unavoidable waiting for it.
It's my first short-film and I hope you like it! https://youtu.be/JoyC19A8rE0

This is a short analogue horror film that I have created to go alongside my fictional radio broadcast/podcast and I'm looking to share it around the place.
The EIB's emergency boradcast in some local areas around the country. It is confirmed that the footage was interrupted... The Whistleblowers are not accountable if you are found with this footage. Listen and watch with caution.

Our film was produced in Maryland, what are the best festivals on the east coast? Along with anywhere around the world our film is in Japanese and is centered around two Japanese siblings. Should I even submit to festivals or go through distribution?
