Netflix has changed the world. Again.

The word we are about to learn is "bundelisation" as in "bundle", a collection of things.

You will never buy anything you don’t need no matter how cheap it is. But if there are a lot of things you don’t need and they are wrapped in a shiny package. Well, you may change your mind.

Nobody needed short films before Netflix decided to bundle them. That’s how "Love, Death & Robots" came to be.

There was no appropriate time to watch a short film before. But now you can watch them all at once as a two-hour movie or one by one as a series.

Now any time is perfect for short films.

This is a revolution. But not all of it.

In the past director could succeed commercially if she shot a feature film, and it was shown in cinemas (online could make it), or a series, and it was shown on TV (online also could make it).

In any of these two cases, you would need a budget. Millions of dollars.

But now you don’t.

Now you can shoot 10 minutes, bundle it to the other 10 minutes, upload to a service with millions of viewers and get your fame, glory, and money.

And it’s still not all of it.

Bundelisation will be helpful not only to directors but to producers. Now they can discover a talent without risking a budget.

In a dozen of short films in a bundle, some will prove to be more popular, some less.

In a dozen of young directors, some will prove to be more talented, some less. You can sign a contract with the former, and do nothing with the latter.

Now for the cost of a low-budget movie a dozen directors, writers, animators, actors, and DOPs can get their chance. The best will seize it.

Bundelisation will change the world. Anything can be made into a bundle. But it shouldn’t.
