{{AFC comment|1=A filmmaker's notability is not established by sourcing his films to their own streaming profiles on the self-published websites of their own distributors, or his alumni profiles on the self-published websites of his alma maters, or YouTube videos of him speaking -- demonstrating that a filmmaker is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article requires third-party journalist-written reliable source coverage about him in media: profiles of him as a person, analysis of his work by professional film critics, verification that he's won or been nominated for major film awards, and on and so forth.
Notability, for Wikipedia purposes, is not established by doing stuff per se -- it's established by having and showing outside assessment and verification of the significance of the stuff the person did, such as third-party analysis and commentary about him and his films.

That always stuck with me. I knew it would translate well into a short film.
