Think Shorts is one of the largest short film publications in the world. We specialize in reviewing short films with a star-rating and a 200-word critical review.

We offer submitters two publication options:

Standard Review: Featured on homepage and social media. May take up to 30 days for publication.

Priority Review: Featured at the top of our homepage for 7 days and recommended across all film pages for 7 days. Promoted on our social media. Guaranteed publication within 48 hours.

    Terrible customer service never replying to emails and slow to publish your review, haven't had the review published on the site having been waiting over two months when it is supposed to be within the month.
