We invite you to submit your short film (5-10 minutes) and be part of an amazing new festival based in the heart of Hollywood. This competition is unique in that by entering your film, you are actually entering all our Short+Sweet Film Festivals currently open for submissions both online and worldwide, all for the one entry fee.
In addition to other prizes, the winning films (Best Film + People's Choice) will win Skype meetings with Mark Ruffalo and Brad Fischer to discuss their winning film, and receive feedback and career advice. Prizes will also be awarded to Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Actor (M+F).
The Best Film (chosen by respected industry judges) and the People’s Choice Winner (chosen by the audience) will be selected to take part in the International Short+Sweet Film Festival Gala Final on August 24 at the beautiful and historic Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. That’s where the winning films from S+S Film Festivals in Sydney, Melbourne, Manila, Dubai and Chennai will compete to take out the International Best Film Awards.
The festival is a proud member of the Short+Sweet family - the biggest 10 minute performing arts festival in the world - with events in 30+ cities across 12 countries. It’s been around for 20 years with the first S+S Theatre Festival in Sydney Australia in 2002 and to date have presented over 5,500 original new works in Theatre, Music and Dance. It might have started on the other side of the world in far off Australia but the global home of the S+S Film is now right here in Hollywood where it belongs.
