MovieMaker Magazine calls DC Shorts "one of the nation's leading short
film festivals." Filmmakers enjoy fabulous parties, city tours, and
are provided with housing, meals and transportation. But most
importantly, they enjoy the opportunity to meet and learn from other
filmmakers — an experience that comes from the premier showcase
dedicated to short films and the people who make them.

This year, we hope to include even more films from around the globe.
We are accepting films in all genres, styles and themes, both standard
definition and high definition (HD films will screen in HD). The
Screenwriting Competition has also be expanded and refined so that
audiences can fully appreciate the script performances

The early-bird deadline is March 1 -- so apply soon, as this is the
period of our lowest entry fees! As always, DC Shorts provides
feedback to ALL filmmakers and writers.
