Tickets/6-pack

When you attend a ShortFest screening, you will be seeing a film 'program'.  Film programs consist of 4-9 short films programmed together for a cohesive experience.  Films in each program often vary in genre, subject, and style, providing our audience with a wide range of adventures. Q&As with attending filmmakers occur after each program to enhance and broaden your experience.
