Each week on Bit Rate, Valentina takes us through the top short films online. Gone are the days when the only outlet for new filmmakers was to desperately submit a creation to film festivals and hope that somehow a Hollywood insider reads your script. Let Valentina introduce you to the up-and-coming filmmakers that exist all over YouTube! From music-makers to animators, these innovative artists are making waves in a big way!
