The short film industry today is predominantly over the internet and certain sites, or parts of sites, are dedicated to showing and sharing short films. Without the internet, the industry could extinguish as it would be much more difficult to find and view short films. This would make it harder to use short films as a pathway into film-making.
BBC Film Network
The BBC has dedicated a part of its site to short films which can be viewed for free and anyone can submit a short which adheres to their guidelines. They break down their films into categories and have a browser so the viewer can watch exactly the sort of film they're looking for.
Coffee Shorts
An indepedent film channel which only allows shorts to be uploaded that they've asked for specifically. They discover short films over the web, at film festivals and from their friends.
Silver Films
It was founded in 1996 and they use the phrase, "We believe that if you talk to people, rather than shout, they listen. If they’re listening, you can connect with them." They produce the films and adverts themselves and when asked how they work their reply is, 'diligently.'
Youtube

As Youtube is a popular video sharing site, it was inevitable that it would become a way of promoting and showing short films from any film-maker of all different skill levels.
