Short films are the new scripts at Amazon Studios, which is opening its content development factory to shorts and concept videos for optioning into feature films. The new initiative begins today and works like Amazons existing script submission process: 2-15 minute videos can be submitted via Amazon Studios website either privately or publicly, with a 45-day option and evaluation period and a $10,000 fee awarded if a short is selected to the development slate. http://deadline.com/2013/06/amazon-studios-now-accepting-short-film-submissions-for-feature-development-530973/
