I have often questioned this too and thought why am I not releasing online?? This article is a great read and I strongly agree with hybrid release with the right film! “inspired by updated guidance from Short of the Week, which emphasized releasing films on multiple platforms—YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok—while simultaneously submitting to festivals. This strategy maximizes exposure, avoiding the risk of losing momentum during a lengthy festival run.”
