Attention all IC Filmmakers: The deadline is fast approaching to submit short films to the LA Shorts Fest. This is an extremely popular film festival on the west coast attended by a lot of people in the industry. Many of you are making short films. You want them to be seen, right? So -- this is the next logical step.
The deadline for on-time submission is April 25th. But there is also an extended deadline that allows you to submit films until May 26th. For more information go to: lashorts.com
I'm not normally in favor of entry fees, and would prefer no entry fees at all for artists to display their work. But we do live in a capitalist society with too little support (and it's shrinking) for the arts. Unfortunately, many of these festival's charge fees in order to just stay in business. The LA Fest April 25th deadline costs $49. If you submit in May it costs $59. Not cheap by any means. But perhaps worth it. There are also cash prizes in eight different categories. And the benefit of having your work screened in a respected festival, along with meeting and networking with people in the worldwide filmmaking community.
So it's up to you. But it's important to get seen. Don't be shy about putting your work out there!
