I'm a bit late to the party as I've just discovered it but looks like it has lots of useful links to actually show examples of short films. Always good for inspiration.
My subscription to Shooting People has lapsed and I've not renewed it for some time. Would love to hear from current members how useful they feel it is.

Inspiration and fuel for film makers
Glasgow Film Festival is on until the 22nd. If you are in the area do go and catch some films. Film festivals are great because they ought to show a large number of films shorts and features which don't normally get screened. If you write you should read a lot and if you are a film maker or have ambitions to be one then you should see lots of different films.
Saw Milk this week myself- fantastic.
