Short film ban

[zackmann08]

With no real opinion one way or the other, what is the reason for banning short films? Just out of curiosity....

I think from the wording it's primarily banning student-created short films.

How many short films can you name off the top of your head that have had widespread distribution?

There are too many student/amateur/self made & distributed short films to count, made every year. Not only in the U.S. but every country with a burgeoning film industry (or lots of kids who are film geeks )

IMDFB isn't here to chronicle the weapons used in someone's backyard project. Heck, even I have several films I shot myself and you KNOW those had real guns (hahahaha) , but they weren't publicly distributed so they don't count.
