The Short Corner is a platform for aspiring storytellers to get their first break, giving voice to authentic stories that often otherwise wouldn’t get told. Short films are frequently the first and most important step for any filmmaker, launching the careers of many who are now household names. As such, we at W1E believe that it is vital that we support this process. Through mentorship, resources, and unwavering encouragement, The Short Corner paves the way for a new generation of artists.
