Yes, making shorts is a great idea.
I've directed a couple shorts and learned TONS.
I mostly do soundtracks, stunt work, and computer tech stuff, but I did all of that for short films before hunkering down for a feature. It was great prep. The last movie I acted in was Pizza Man vs. The Dude, and we did all of it as a short first. That way we could use the short to shop around the flick before we made it, and I learned what I was in for.
I'm going to VFS now, but before hand I learned a load from hanging out with a club of local film makers and doing my own stuff.
Where are you located? It's all about using your local area to help you out. People love to be in movies.
What type of film are you making?
