INAUGURAL SHORTIE FILM FESTIVAL LAUNCHES IN OCTOBER 2019

The inaugural Shortie Film Festival will be held October 3rd and 4th 2019 in Brooklyn, New York. Shortie is an independent, international festival for films 30 minutes or less. The festival fosters and propels emerging and provocative filmmaking with two days of screenings, Q&As, and afterparties for a audience seeking new voices and perspectives.

The culmination of the festival is the awards ceremony.
