3 Minute Film Festival

In SANTA BARBARA, CA,

This is the 7th season of the 3-Minute Film Festival. It is a boutique festival that screens January 22, 2020.

It's all About the excellence of the number 3..

Original Score is a serious category, so don't forget to put that in your credits, if a composer wrote the music for your film -- Credit Original Score

3...THREE... is an Awesome Number! We live in the 3rd Dimension! Everyone loves a Major 3rd. The 3 Stooges were funny and all religions have something to do with 3, because --
It is all about three.

And, if your work is screened in Santa Barbara, it adds up to more clout!

Films must be no longer than 3 minutes, credits must not extend longer than 20 seconds after the film is finish, which must end by 0.03:00.

Five genres are accepted: Narrative, Documentary, Animation, Experimental and Dance. And, once again, Original Music Scores are encouraged, and may with pre-arrangements and consent from the Director, be performed live.

Selected films will have one screening during approximately a one hour film festival. There is a reception before screening and afterwards. Filmmakers who attend may be asked to introduce their films. Composers for original scores may also be asked to speak; and if they wish to play live music under the film -- they may do so. Again, just let the director know in advance so that we may check if we can accommodate a live performance.
