Mini movies are a relatively new form of filmmaking that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The mini-movie format is not a new concept, it has been around since the early 1900s. The first known use of the term “mini-movie” was in 1917 when it was used as a way to describe films that were shorter than the length of traditional movies. Mini movies are short films that are usually less than 10 minutes. These films are used in many different ways. Some to tell a compelling story and others, to promote or advertise a product or service or to serve as an introduction to a series.
