It is for those of you who want to see what student films can become. Anyone, who might be interested in enrolling into a major film school, somewhere in the world, can view my work as an example. Unfortunately, some of my works completed, were lost while I was a student, could not be gathered or transfered to specific media, or could not be featured here for another reason. Be also advised that curiculum is rigorous. I participated in many media projects and lent support to fellow-students. I interned while concurrently enrolled in Letters Arts and Sciences at UCLA Undergraduate Department, and, the distinctly separate School of "TFT". For more details about the rigor, please do be sure to visit the "Disclaimer" page for some more specifics. Especially, if you are considering a similar career-path within an ever-changing and demanding field/industry.

Note about exhibition of materials on my company site. (Regarding music licensing): If my use-rights for music re-use have expired, please contact me via email, for discussion in resolving any malcontent you may have as the artist or artist's representative. Removal of your material from exhibition, is my honored remedy. The short films are usually otherwise displayed with assumed permission and featuring, including potentially new works on display. Contact me via email, if you have interest in your work being featured. No claim to composition or authoring of them, as author, is made by this company. No advertising revenue is being collected by showcasing songs in my work, and no claim of any ownership of them is credited to anyone other than those who produced them or the music. Note, that student films' producted, required director and producer to have requested use from Record-label, by way of letter and through the school's administrative prompting for thesis projects of this kind. That is standard procedure, in the USA (typically).  

If rights for music re-use have expired, please contact me for discussion in resolving any malcontent, as described. The short films are otherwise displayed with assumed permission, no direct revenue therefrom is collected, and no claim to credited production of such music is assumed.

Studies-Prologue (platform and basis for this Site)

[UCLA's film, TV and digital new-media school graduate (TFT) (theater, film, and television) 1999] - President of www.film-shorts.tv

Film school was for us, an incubator for political awareness, with disciplinary skill and creative relationship formation. There, film craft was passed on as analogue systems grow scarce. Understanding for the formulas behind US movie making (emphasizing story), the anchored history, and the emerging market platforms began to take firm root. It was the science behind mainstream and experimental movie making with multi diciplinary work and emphases, in the production disciplines and use of technologies.

Rebel, the late Jim Morrison, pioneer F.F. Coppola, and a great number of others, leave enduring marks on this school's public image and reputation... but not only that. The school has given way to global collaborations and the newest generations continue to graduate. I am one of those members. And I invite you to explore my website fully!

 

Be my guest, and acquaint yourself with the movement starting right here at my company site!

Donations are accepted as you click on the yellow donate button.

Collections are categorized as 'for profit' with the US tax boards - www.film-shorts.tv is not a 'non-profit' organization; and your donations are not tax deductible as might be to a 501(c)(3). You write-in a brief description, on each personal transaction (eg. "patron of film-shorts.tv"). If you experience any currency difficulty, notify cjfonseca@film-shorts.tv. Do not use this Email address for SPAM or SCAM! You may always contact me if you experience any error messages while transacting. Transactions are placed by 'PayPal', using SSL security and encryption. Your contribution per transaction, should certainly not exceed 999.99 (US Dollar value) when using this method of donating. I advise that you mail a check for any amount up to 500.00 (US Dollar value). Donations will be subject to 'PayPal' scrutiny to combat money launder. Be certain that you have read the most recently updated of these terms with their company and understand my terms, posted at my site here, before making a donation or payment. Especially, if you have concerns about donating in this manner and method. And, it's also wise to notify me via Email, first, that you are going to make the digital donation, wire-transfer, or check donation, later. If you want % of funds to go to a charity with my assistance, you must specify on your 'PayPal' transaction (& in the memo line, as you donate, 1 of 3 category chosen). Simply write 1 of 3 category choices named. The 3 categories to choose from are simply: poverty, public health, or arts & humanities. (I will select the organization of my choosing, within your specified but general category). Make sure that you print your generated transaction receipts always, to verify that you made the donation to me. (60% of each post-taxed, transacted amount, will be furthered by me to assist a charitable non-profit organization with a USA headquarters, in your specified category; and, from your principle amount). The remainder of that donation, will be my company profit. 60% is the default percentage, unless you leave no direction as to %; or, unless you leave an amount in a last-will to me, in which I will choose %. Donations that you intend for me to forward, must exceed 500.00 USD if each is intended for a charitable 3rd party organization beyond film-shorts.tv. My business is properly licensed and I have experience.

If you do not specify a category on a transaction, 100% amount will be deemed as intended to be directed to my company profit; and, I will file income taxes accordingly. Checks, wire-transfers, and wills, must be addressed to my name. Digital donations can use my name or company name. Thank you for recognizing the costs of operating business, of online broadcast, of exhibition, of maintenance, of paperwork, of email correspondence, and for seeking to partner with me!

For inquiry as to how to transact in a bank-to-bank international transaction, I am ready to assist you with that information.                 

Remember to print your receipt(s) in all instances, so that they can be provided to 'PayPal' and me, or to any relevant party. I will not return any funds you donate back to you, nor to your select beneficiaries. I choose the organization. You must specify the principle amount that you are donating and await for me to confirm receipt of it to match your record on your end. I do not supply public disclosure audits to benefactors. Your donation will require 1 year to lapse, before I forward to the 3rd party charitable organization. Receipt copies that I receive from those organizations (who receive the final destination of funds), can be supplied to you per your request via Email, once I have the final moentary destination organization's receipt. If they do not provide receipt, I cannot provide it to you either. I require receipts for my tax purposes as well. Any donations made can be discussed with me via Email. Especially, if you would rather donate using a bank-to-bank wire transfer.

Always print your receipt(s) in all instances, for your tax reasons and personal reasons. I report all income as taxable income. 60% of your amount after tax collection, are further donated net. For this reason, there may be a year delay before your funds reach the donor.

Do you want to recommend, or, to take recommendations for movies? -You'll find a list of highly-recommended movies, there. Not only at this site. I invite you to visit my buddies at: www.fandango.com. Once you create a user-profile for yourself, there, and once you've logged in, you can then become my "fan" in there. Why? To see some (few) of my movie reviews and write reviews of your very own. Some years ago, "over 800 visitors have read my review(s) at fandango". Unfortunately, there's no compensation scheme. Subsequently, I stopped utilizing that platform for that purpose. But, if there, type my name "chrisratesmovie" in the user-search-box, to find my reviews that 'fandango' has posted at their site. Now that I offer reviews on my own site sometimes, or through Wordpress blog, I check in with 'fandango' very rarely or not at all; but, have fun with it yourself? They're also a good source for looking up showtimes, buying show tickets, researching storylines, etc. As is: imdb.com .

*some of my very-most favorite movies, that I mention on this site, might remain unmentioned here.
 

Some friendly American cable or satellite TV-stations, which often feature film classics or student works of art, that I can recommend to you my patrons, are:

TCM, AMC, KVCR, HISTORY

Contact your local cable or satellite company, to inquire about these channels. If you stream, or use Apps, seek them just as well?

Some of them feature wonderful music programs, also!
