Short films are not long enough to be considered to be a feature film as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film to be original and to have a running time of 40 minutes or less including the credits. Short films are frequently screened at local, national or international film festivals which were made by independent filmmakers for non-profit which would have had a very low budget whereas feature films are made to make a profit and they have very big budgets. Short films are usually funded by film grants or a not for profit organisation. Filmmakers create short films so they can gain experience and show their talent with creating films in order to gain funding from organisations so they can make more films in the future.
There are numerous creators who feel that it's in fact harder to produce a short film, because you have to fit a full story into a specific, short amount of time. On the other hand, with feature films, you can take as long as you need to tell the whole story, so there's not as much pressure. Some other differences between feature films and short films is that a short film will have less crew members than a feature length film and short films are not as complex as feature films. Short films are also targeted at a niche audience whereas most feature films are targeted at the mass audience in order to make a big profit.
