"How might short films be useful for new filmmakers?"
Short films can allow new or young filmmakers to try out different filmmaking techniques without the need for a big budget, crew or cast. They can be made in less time than feature films, which would be useful for people who do not work as filmmakers full-time. They also could often function by themselves as a scene within a film (such as how the Blue Song music video is similar to Baby Driver) so filmmakers can learn all of the techniques needed to make feature films. However, I do not think that the medium of short films should be relegated to being an art form which is exclusively for beginner filmmakers and is merely for practice. There is no reason that short films should be seen as inferior to feature films or any less needed; sometimes I might want to spend two hours watching a film and sometimes I might want to spend five minutes.

I totally agree.
