All Hail Our Short Film Program Finalists!
Posted 6 years ago by
Richard "RB" Botto 
Hey guys. We're thrilled to announce the finalists of our 3rd Annual Short Film Contest. It was another record breaking year for entries and as usually is the case, more entries meant there were so many fantastic films to choose from. We have some true visionaries in our midst!
The competition for the finals was fierce and our many of our judges took it upon themselves to watch certain films over and over knowing that every point mattered. One judge was so moved by a certain film he passed it on to a manager at a certain major league management company and the filmmaker has already taken a meeting. How's that for results?
Now all the films you see below are in the hands of our illustrious panel made up of working industry executives. The winning films will be announced next week and will be put into our 3rd Annual Stage 32 Short Film program which will play at Raindance, Hollyshorts (an Oscar qualifying festival) and to the entire world during a special broadcast right here on Stage 32!
Help us congratulate the finalists!
Cheers!
RB
