SHORTS
Why Do We Love Watching Short Films?
People have been watching shorts since before the digital revolution sprang into being. So it can’t be just because shorts fit into our busy schedules. No, the short film is an art form all its own. There is a beauty to telling a story in a limited amount of time, stripping out the less important elements in favor of only what is needed to ignite the viewer's imagination.

48 HOUR FILM PROJECT
The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which a small team of adventurous and creative individuals meets to make a movie - write, shoot, and edit - in just 48 hours. On Friday night, the teams draw a genre from a hat. They are then given a character, prop and specific line that must appear in their films. On Sunday night, in a mad dash to the drop-off event, the film is turned in - and teams celebrate! Each film is then screened for an audience of families, friends and industry professionals. It's madness with a method.
