Show your short film at a newly renovated, historic theater in the Mohave Desert!

Nestled between striking mountain ranges, filmmakers will be greeted with live music, VIP parties and a community of supportive filmgoers.

Looking for something more low-key? Enjoy three days of screenings, Q&A sessions and panels led by the artists who make film possible.

Join us as we set off our inaugural festival!

Awards & Prizes

Gift Baskets will be given to the winners of their block of film entries.

A cash award and trophy will be given to the overall winner.

Additional screening opportunities at the Beale Street Theater will be given to all winning films.
