HOW THE FESTIVAL WORKS

Films from each genre will be shown and the audience will get the chance to vote for their favorites. Winners will be announced at each film block and awarded the “Monroe” – an original piece of metal artwork. The winner from each block will go head to head in the final round as our panel of judges decide who takes home the top prize as the “Best of Love Your Shorts Film Festival!”

  • Tickets are sold per film block and are $8, except for “E” for Everyone, which is $2 per ticket.
  • You can also purchase a Weekend Pass for $55 which gets you in to all film blocks.

SEND US YOUR EXHIBITION COPY!

Please send us an exhibition copy of your film. All films are shown digitally and we prefer .MP4 files. If we do not receive an exhibition copy from you, we will remove your film our 2016 official selection list and it won’t be shown at the festival.  If you would like to email us a download link to your .MP4 file please do so by 1/15/2016 and email it to screening@loveyourshorts.com.
