Here is a screenshot of searching for short films on YouTube and there are many different films that come up, that may be a variety of different genres. Amateur film makers can also create their account with the name of company or group, such as the top search on the screenshot which the creator is called Digital Sphere Films. This can help filmmakers make themselves known, as many people use from different age groups use YouTube.
YouTube also allows content creators to earn money through monetised videos, through Google Analytics and AdSense, which works through advertisements before the actual video starts, enabling the content creator to make a small amount of money for the amount of video views they get. 
The next possible distributor for our short film is Short of the Week. Short of the Week are a company of filmmakers, who distribute short films on their website, and also produce short films themselves. Short of the Week selects one film every week to be the best short film, which is displayed on the home page. They also have a Channels page, which lists a variety of different genres and plot lines so that visitors to the site can browse through all the short films that are on the site. The site does, however, have a submission fee, which is $29, and there is no guarantee that your film will be accepted to the site, and there isn't a refund option if your film isn't submitted.
A final distribution possibility is Journeyman Pictures. For twenty years, they have distributed and co-produced original content. They host feature documentaries and short films on their website. Short films can easily be submitted to their website via email.
