February 15-17, 2013

Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center, Sanford, FL

Official Selections will be announced January 1, 2013!

This year’s events will include 9 blocks of films – Opening Night (a mix of genres), family-friendly “E” for Everyone, Documentary, Animation, Drama, Comedy, Sci-fi/Horror, Florida Flavor, and Best of the Fest. A filmmakers panel will also take place and will be free and open to the public.

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.
