by Trevor Sheffield When it comes to getting a point across quickly in film, there’s no better medium than the short. Whether it’s to make you cry, to make you think, or to just make you feel, period, it gives storytellers, animators, and documentary filmmakers the opportunity to leave a lasting impression in the least amount of time possible. The Heartland Film Festival has come again, and audiences have the opportunity to see some of the heights of short filmmaking as voted upon this past Summer. Of the selections made for this year’s showcases, it’s undeniable that these films break the mold.
