POSTPONED: #MoStopMo Fest - April 4th
#MoStopMo is committed to Stop Motion Film Making and building community. To properly honor both, we have decided to postpone our April 4th Stop Motion Shorts Fest.
We are fully committed to run our festival and honor all of the filmmakers who have submitted to us from around the world, and a new fest date will be announced in the near future, where we will honor all tickets. In the meantime, follow us online for announcements, and check out our new Podcast interviews, featuring animation professionals across the industry.

Have you created a Stop Motion film in the past 2 years (2018 -2020)? Is it a complete, stand alone story (not an exercise or a trailer for a longer short)? Does it range between 3 to 15 minutes? If so, you are eligible to submit to the #MoStopMo Film Festival!
Dedicated building community around the very first form of animation ever put to film, the #MoStopMo Film Festival is focused on welcoming emerging Stop Motion Film Makers to the Stop Motion Community!
All qualifying entries will automatically receive tickets to all events leading up to the Screening Event on April 4th 2020 in Oakland CA, USA:
- "The Art of #MoStop Mo" Gallery Show Opening (Friday April 3rd @ 6 PM - 10 PM) Running for the months of April & May, showcasing the behind-the-scenes art the Stop Motion film "The Cookie Cutter"
- The #MoStopMo Saturday Night Screening Event (Saturday, April 4th at 7 PM)
- An After-Party celebration (Saturday, April 4th at 10 PM)
We have limited slots to accommodate our Screening Event, so if your short is not chosen for our run-of-show, we will honor all those who both qualify AND properly submit to our fest, by hosting a link to their film website on www.mostopmo.com for the months of April and May 2020.
The Audience-Selected Short will be awarded a custom found-object sculpture honoring the spirit of the Stop Motion Animator by artist David Rocco Facchini (www.dellaroccostudios.com).
The Selected Short team members will qualify to participate in future #MoStopMo film productions and networking opportunities with industry professionals.
