The SAG-AFTRA Foundation Short Film Showcase recognizes excellent short films and other short content made by and/or starring SAG-AFTRA members and inspires SAG-AFTRA members to create their own content, and provide them with a toolkit and requisite knowledge to get started as content creators. It should also provide all aspiring and emerging filmmakers with a sense of how they can work with SAG-AFTRA performers on their projects.

The Showcase itself will include screenings in New York and Los Angeles of the best short films and short content submitted for consideration, recognizing films made under a SAG-AFTRA contract, standout performances within short films, and films directed by SAG-AFTRA performers. The selected projects will be announced via our website and social media.

There are no awards or prizes associated with our short film showcase.

Short Films must be no longer than 30 minutes including credits.
All projects must have been made under a SAG-AFTRA contact.
Works in progress may be submitted, but they must be fully completed by the February 28th 2025 notification deadline.
