Shorts & Shots

About

Bring your films, animations, music videos & trailers (under 15 mins) on DVD, throw them in the Grab Bag, and we’ll screen ‘em all night! Audience will randomly select films from the pile throughout the evening.

These are among our least formal and most unpredictably fun events. Please check to make sure your disk works before you come! We are not responsible for glitchy disks, but we’ll do the best we can to give you an awesome screening. Viewer discretion advised for potential R-Rated content. Short and visually exciting films and comedies are better suited for this event than dialog-driven or heavy dramas, but all are welcome!

Prizes

In addition to our standard door prizes and special Member-only raffles, top short film of the night, chosen by audience vote, will win a prize pack. Prizes vary from event to event, but past prizes for the top film have included software packs valued over $1,000, over $200 worth of prizes, including free VIP Passes to the 2011 P21Fest, software, drink tickets, partner discounts, and/or free Membership to Project Twenty1!

Shorts & Shots often has “themes” for the evening, which could consist of any of the following:

Salon des Refusés

Have a short film 15 minutes or less that didn’t get into the Philadelphia Film & Animation Festival? Bring your film on DVD and your rejection letter, and not only will we screen it, but we’ll give you a ticket for a free drink, courtesy of Marathon Grill!

Earth Hour

Films with a green/environmental theme will receive priority screening until 8:30, when the lights go off for some Glow Networking. See Earth Hour for more info.
