FOR THE LOVE OF SHORTS!

8 April Saturday, 5pm

It’s no secret that we love short films. A good short, can be in a lot of ways more satisfying that a full-length feature. With that said, these are some of our favorites films this year, by directors who we think are ready to make the big jump to features films.
