Hang Onto Your Shorts
Film Festival.
About
There have been past festivals that focuses mostly on feature films but what about that filmmaker who hasn't been able to make one yet. The artist who created a short film but is unable to show it or showcase their work. This is where we come in to the picture.
Awards
We have over 28 awards for short films, all different categories and special guests.
Rules
- Submissions are to be made via Filmfreeway.
- Student Fees.
- We only need 1 DVD. We would prefer an online screener of the short film.
- Submissions that are in any language other than English must be subtitled or dubbed.
Premiere Requirements
No premiere requirement
