In this episode of The Shot Callers Podcast, Kalvo and Yabui break down the creative and strategic differences between short films and feature films. From narrative structure and production scope to career impact and festival strategy, we explore when to make a short, when to expand into a feature, and how successful short films were adapted into features.  Whether you’re just starting out or planning your first full-length project, this episode will help you decide which format fits your vision best.
