This is a short film festival based in Sarnia Ontario, being held at the 300 seat theatre in the downtown library on October 3rd from 12-4pm. We're focusing on showcasing independent talent and new voices in an effort to be a platform for everyone that's ever wanted to be a filmmaker. We're looking for short films 15 minutes or less long. Also we are all about accessibility so there will be no entry price, and no fee to enter the festival. We're limited to 300 people so If you wish to be in attendance for your film (please do we'd love to see you) please mention that and we will set aside tickets. We will also have a vendor space were filmmakers can sell their films and merchandise as well as have lots of movie related items.

We will have several awards and a full awards ceremony celebrating the contributions everyone made. Trophies will be awarded to those in attendance.

The short must be 15 minutes or less
No A.I. allowed in any capacity from script to visuals
no nudity
no animals harmed on set
We're looking to showcase Canadian talent specifically
