  • Short+Sweet GC was a great little event, and Mo's was the perfect venue for genuine networking. The event was well administrated and the night we attended we had fun, and watched a bunch of shorts that were diverse and interesting.

    Good quality of films to be amongst, the festival team pulled together a great event in these times. Although I couldn't be at the physical festival it was great to be able to watch the films through a private link, which included a virtual program at the end. Only downside for me was the link took a week to be sent through for me to see the films and results, although a trade-off here is that the link works for me for the next 2 weeks so it's got replay value. The next festival will be even better no doubt! Thanks for having our film part of the event!
