SHORTLISTED FOR THE SMALLS FILM FESTIVAL 2012 Excitement builds… Hold your hats as The Smalls Film Festival 2012 is fast approaching! Over the last seven years our film festival has grown from a 2-day showcase of short films screened on video iPods, all the way back in 2006, to a 5-day extravaganza of film screenings, panel discussions and master classes, with the involvement of some of the leading innovators in independent filmmaking today. While we may have grown bigger and expanded our reach, our dedication to unearthing the best of the world’s short film creators has remained steadfast. With this in mind, our festival would not be complete without a showcase of our latest discoveries in filmmaking talent. Hundreds of films were submitted to compete for top nods in the categories of Comedy, Drama, Documentary, and Music Video. From a selection of incredible entries our esteemed judging panel, including: Elliot Grove (Founder of Raindance Film Festival), Scott Horscroft (VP of A&R Labels, EMI), Derek Thorne (Director of One World Media) and Steve North (General Manager, Dave & Gold at UKTV), has determined which films will be included in this year’s program.
