BLAZING SUN INDEPENDENT FILM              SHORTS FESTIVAL

Mission - Our primary aim is to discover and celebrate independent films, and, in so doing, promote excellence and innovation in film storytelling.

 

Description - We are seeking the crown-jewel—the poetic—in a film, which filmmakers call the moment. The moment in a film may be a look, a kiss, a quirky smile, an emerging plant in the aftermath of a fire, or something in the frame seemingly small but is gigantic in meaning to the story. In short, it is poetic. We, the Organizing Committee and our Award Judges, will make the determination of whether a film short includes a poetic moment or moments.

 

Eligibility - Independent filmmakers and college students are invited to submit their film shorts.
