Best Shorts is a festival that exists to encourage and reward the independent filmmaker. Their competition provides encouragement to many deserving filmmakers who put so much hard work into creating their art.

“Best Shorts Competition” is for the experienced, well rounded film makers. The competition is tough. But it is also your home, if your work is creative, beautiful, and artsy; even if it is not a main stream film. Highly recommended.

Quick to communicate and answer questions.

Great festival for short films to compete in. They were quick to communicate and answer any questions. Hopefully, I can compete to win another award next year. Thanks!

Kareem Kamahl Taylor

This festival recognized the hard work and dedication

I filmed my documentary with one camera, no crew and a microphone that barely worked. I did, however, pour my heart and soul into hours of editing 8 months worth of footage (tapping into my story editing skills). I’m appreciative that this festival was able to recognize the hard work and dedication that went into making this project. If you are a filmmaker, and think you need to drone, dolly, etc. to make a film “look” more professional, I can tell you right now focus more on content and it will be recognized and will pay off. I will be extremely grateful for this festival.

Matthew Gillespie

This festival is organized and communicative

As an artist, I create projects that make a difference and shed light on subject matters deserving of more attention from society and from the filmmaking community. We are thrilled that the judges at Best Shorts recognized the importance of our film.   It’s such an honor!  This festival is organized and communicative, and I plan to submit all my upcoming films to this wonderful platform! Thanks so much!
