Short Film Competition Deadline Extended Until 4 May

Over the past few months, and especially the past few weeks, there has been such a buzz in the office! The Short Film Competition has brought filmmakers from all over the world together. We’ve had filmmakers from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Israel, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and just about every European country!

The one thing that makes me so incredibly excited about this is that we’re going to get the opportunity to experience first hand the creativity and skills from all across the world. I think as humans, we all share similar experiences – the range of emotions, and to see these anecdotes interpreted through film is an honour.



I know that the judging process is going to be tough, but we’re prepared. To those of you who have already entered, I am wishing you luck and if you’ve thought that you missed the deadline, we’ll there’s an extension until 4 May, and your films can reach us up until 15 May.
