We are seeking short films in 13 minutes and under from budding filmmakers of all ages. We especially encourage recent graduates or emerging filmmakers to submit. Submissions will be accepted in four categories:
Local Short Films (North Georgia area)
Appalachian Region Short Films
American Short Films
International Short Films
Our goal is to celebrate authentic, youthful storytelling from diverse perspectives — from small towns in the Appalachian mountains to cities across the U.S. and creative communities around the globe. Whether your film is a documentary, narrative, experimental work, or hybrid form, we want to see your voice, your vision, and your story.
Awards will be given for the best short film in each category. Our festival is dedicated to uplifting young voices: regional, national, and global. If your film is honest, original, and authentically yours, we want to see it.
