A platform for short film makers ShortFundly

YouTube, Vimeo  are great platforms providing online video streaming services. However, they are not designed for short film and short film makers. If you want to see a short film in some particular category, you are required to do extensive search to find that. That problem provoked Selvam to build a new platform to help users quickly view and share short films without searching much, that is how shortfundly is born.
