Short film

You should be able to create a quality short for $1000 no problem. Focus not on the camera or lenses or lights as much though as the storytelling, acting, planning, pre-production and ideas. That will always be your most important thing.

USP 

my USP will be that the male in this situation is the one who is getting abused, abuse towards men isn't considered important as it should be. The fact that my short film will contain the life of a male who is abused stands out from others. 

 
 
legal and ethical issues

the ethical issue with the short film would be that women shouldn't abuse men because they can, the abuse towards women from men is already heavily frowned upon so they should not feel the need to abuse men, the abuse towards men occurs more than anyone would believe. it happens every 1 in 6 men, and that's just the UK.
