The Shawnee Shorts Film Festival celebrates filmmakers from the Midwest region of the United States exploring the short film format. We are looking for short films that exemplify originality, creativity and expressiveness. Our goal is to share the incredible talents of filmmakers, actors, writers and producers who call the beautiful Midwest home.
The festival will take place at the Historic Liberty Theater in beautiful Murphysboro, Illinois on June 1st 2019. Times and schedule to be announced.
Entrants can expect a red carpet experience. Enjoy photographs of you, your cast and crew in front of the ShawneeShorts logo, delicious concessions and the thrill of seeing your work on the "Big Screen."
Meet other film makers from the area and surrounding states. Carbondale, home to Southern Illinois University, is 10 miles away and boasts a great night life.
We look forward to seeing you there!
