An excellent learning opportunity for young filmmakers

Well organized competition with timely communications. Thrilled to have two of my films awarded and I took away four awards altogether. The event is an excellent learning opportunity for young filmmakers like myself. Thanks for the opportunities.

They go through every step of their process with you

Great communication and I can tell the folks at the Fest work hard–they’re very open and way to communicate with and go through every step of their process with you, which is awesome! I’m appreciative of the award, it’s a great help for my film. I’m definitely going to submit again in the future.

A festival that exists to encourage and reward the independent filmmaker

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. On my list of awards competitions that I highly recommend, Best Shorts and its sister festivals are at the top.

Assistance with publicity!

Great communication, fantastic opportunities and assistance with publicity. Thank you so much for recognizing our film with an Award of Merit!

Great rating system and integrity

Best Short Competition is a great film rating system. Rick and his team are accessible and have integrity. This is a great way to get a fair shot at your films merit. Highly recommend.
