hey folks,

does anybody of you know a tracker which is specialized in short films OR where do you think is probably the best place to get short films? tik and kg are offering some short films, but i am searching for a tracker which solely offers short films.

thanks for reading :)

take care!

There is probably not enough demand or supply for that.

Goem and the horrorcharnel have a short film category

KG seems to have the most short films. tik and goem have each just about 100, tik is actually below 100 and goem at 150. KG on the other side has almost 1800.

A tracker which only allows short films would be very interesting to me, I think that there are enough people who would be active. furthermore I like trackers which specialize themselves in something!

secret cinema has no genre for short films :( but they have some short films though, but I can't really say how many...

how much does horrorchannel have?

That's quite strange to me. There's a lot of short (or rare) films made by young/independent directors, many of such films have never brought their producers a big profit, were probably shown on one-two festivals and distributed only a hundreds copies some years ago. Why the directors/producers wouldn't give such films to a specialized torrent communities? It would promote their work and give access for some fans who find nearly impossible to find because it's out of print. I personally have a list of 10-15 short/rare films I would love to watch, but all attempts to find them is like :frusty: .

I think that there is potentially enough demand and supply. As already VoidNT said there are very many short films and a lot of them are hard to find or bootlegs. Moreover KG proved that demand and supply is in some extent available. So in my opinion a fundament for a good community exists.

I've never understood the "specialized" tracker mentality. seems like someone would just start uploading them to kg or some other similar site. why waste the time on a niche tracker, when there's already a tracker which would readily accept the content and has a large user base?

KG is a perfect candidate, lysine. By saying "specialized" I don't mean a new tracker, just a single place where many different sources can publish their stuff.

peep the poll at secret-cinema:

What new movie section would you like?
Noir 18%
Short film 17%
Vintage porn 15%
Surrealism 10%
Experimental 10%
Drama 8%
Western 6%
Thriller / Crime 6%
Food films 3%
Steven Seagal 3%
Thriller 2%
War 2%
Crime 0%

I like "specialized" trackers, cause they concentrate themselves on a specific topic and just everything on that tracker is about the specified topic. No doubt KG is great and has very much short films, BUT a tracker specialized in short films would have a deeper and stronger community and probably more uploads. I think that a "specialized" tracker could beat other trackers in quantity and quality, but they will have a very hard time in the beginning, later though they will probably work pretty fine (if demand, supply, the tracker's staff and the tracker's system itself will work out).
