Submit Your Short Film | Film Shortage

Film Shortage is an online short film cinema, featuring mind-blowing new shorts every week. Our mission is to be a perfect launch pad and support filmmakers to get their shorts out there!

We love short films, more importantly we love watching them! Send us your films, we promise we will take the time to watch each submitted short with great attention. Our team will carefully select the short films we believe will have a great story to tell, or is just simply mind-blowing. We will only be able to feature a few percentage out of the many shorts submitted to us, so if we don’t feature your short, do not get discouraged it does not mean it’s not a great movie. If we like it and see some potential in it we might still mention it through Twitter, Facebook or our Weekend Shortlist!

What Are We Looking For?

Short Films

Film Shortage’s main focus will be the ‘Featured Short’. What does your film need to be featured? Simply enough it needs to be good! We like well scripted stories, and we like them even better if they are well shot! Although we encourage narrative shorts, we will accept any type of short film if we think it is exceptional. We accept shorts of any budget category, but strongly encourage the low-budget productions. Films should preferably be under 20 minutes.

Trailers

We love trailers! If you have a trailer for your short film, send it to us we will post it on our ‘Short Trailers’ page. Our goal is to help you promote your film as much as we can, trailers are a great way to give your viewers a tease.
