Short Short Fest is a 3 stop touring event of cartoons, animations, cosplay, gaming and more! If you enjoy experiencing new works of independent animated content, meeting local artists, and winning prizes with friends then Short Short Fest has you covered! All 3 nights are unique with each night its own party for the artists of the community it is held in and a new original line up of shorts.

Watch cartoons, enjoy drawing on the community art wall, play Super Smash Bros, meet artists, and discover your new favorite films! Come early and mingle with other cartoon lovers and creators! Draw on the community art wall, win prizes like a NEW Drawing tablet, a 1 year subscription to ToonBoom and much more! BUT MOST OF ALL get a good seat for all the featured original cartoons!

Short Short Fest has event prizes spanning from Brand New drawing tablets, signed works from industry creators, and animation care packages.

Short Short Fest is an event open for all animators. Indi, web, industry and beginners. We do not turn away any film based on its genre, style, or creative direction. The only rule that we apply is that it is not longer than 6 min (but we can still be flexible on that)

Short Short Fest is an event built to bring together the animation community and give its artists and community supporters a venue and platform to meet each, have fun, and show animated work confidently.

Short Short Fest was created to show what the East Coast has to offer, and how you don't need to be in California to be an animator. For more information or a faster submission review, visit our website. ShortShortFest.com

    Overall, the Shorts Shorts Fest, 2023 was a lot of fun. They even do a raffle! The people running the fest were extremely kind and really promoted networking, I loved the environment! Hope to attend next year (:

    Short Short Fest was a great experience. It has a full sense of community behind it, and it's a great way to meet other creative people. The only thing I wasn't aware of is that films are only shown at one location during the road show. Other than that, I'm excited to submit again next year.

    Response from festival:

    Hey Evan! Thanks for the kind words and the review of the event. Last year was our first tour so we may not have been clear enough on it having a new lineup at every stop of the tour. But as this is a community event all notes from the creatives we host are appreciated and incorporated in growing this to be a bigger and better fest each year. Thanks for helping make last years event a great one!
