Sam Khan,who has released over 25 short format films in a short span of over two years is now presenting a new trend to promote the segment of short format films between 1 to 50 minutes. This is a zone he believes is a beautiful space to be in, because here you don't need very big people, budgets or stars. "For a good film, you just need a good script and brilliant crew members. You don't need money or a big ambience. I am trying to create a different path for shorter format films. Because no platform right now, neither Amazon nor Netflix are buying shorter format films, and this segment definitely needs encouragement, because today people from smaller towns like Lucknow, Kanpur are asking, is there a future of making such films?"
"If I or any budding director is trying to make a shorter film, today there is no future in terms of commercial success for it. We need to make this segment bigger so we can encourage people to experiment. Why should we be restricted by a myopic vision of how to make cinema in today's day and age, where with the emergence of the digital platforms you don't need to go anywhere. Entertainment is right in your hands." Khan points out.
