Expand comment@rodney some strong deciding factors. production value ie lighting set design wardrobe locations etc. Editing. Editing and pacing are crucial. Acting. Story. visual style/visual storytelling. I bring this up often because many films are too heavily dialogue driven with little camera movement or thought given to lens use/shot framing etc etc. Show us don’t tell us.
Award worthy. All the previously mentioned facets must be strong. originality of story or style of short that make it stand out and thus impresses a jury to award it. Social impact. Does the film hold any weight or share an important theme or story relevant to the times or offer a unique perspective.
