YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ATTEND

But ATTANDANCE Guarantees YOU THE CHANCE TO DO A Q and A Infront of a live audience, be recorded and uploaded to social media for sharing.

Once you submit, the short will be watched carefully and judged and placed in the cycle of nominated short films that will screen at some point throughout the year. Depending how well the short does with audiences, we will either continue to show the short or cycle through on to a new one that has not been screened yet. Every nominated short will at least screen once a month. for those that can't attend and want to watch the selection of short films, an online screener will be made for a limited time for friends and family of the filmmaker. If your short film was nominated and screened at some point in the year. It cannot come back for a second year without submission. To get your film in for another year one has to submit again, and that process repeats itself, no exceptions and there is no guarantee that it will screen again because it already made it once. Every short film is judged with all the other short films for the year it is submitted for. There is no rule about how long ago your short film was made. we don't care if it was made 20 years ago, feel free to submit and if it makes the cut, then it makes the cut. But all short films will be competing for a 2-hour window of screening time, every Monday and other special nights. if your short film is not from one of the indicated states it will automatically be disqualified.
