The ATL Thriller Shorts Film Festival sponsored by FilmFreeway and hosted by ShedHouse Pictures is proud to announce our first short film festival. The festival will focus on short films in the following genres, Thriller, Horror and Suspense. We will present all of our short films in one evening starting early to walk the red carpet and then heading inside for food and drinks before the festival begins. The festival will be in Atlanta, Ga. on October 16th, 2021.

The fees we charge are to help offset the costs of hosting this film festival. We believe that our fees are reasonable. We have judges who are industry professionals, filmmakers themselves, and/or passionate film lovers. We cannot offer to pay for filmmakers to attend the festival or otherwise because we are accepting submissions from all over the world. To do so would simply be cost prohibitive.

10% of all ticket sales will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

After the show, we will have a short Q&A with the filmmakers and announce the winners! We look forward to viewing all of your wonderful work!

PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE OFTEN AS SPECIFICS MAY CHANGE.
