In Shortverse, you have full control over the release of your film. You can submit your film now and release it months from now. You don’t have to wait to hear back from other festivals or finish screenings to start planning your release. Give yourself the time and submit early.
Some filmmakers even prefer to publish their film projects before completed to tease upcoming projects. Many programmers, producers, and other industry members are interested in seeing your latest project.
We'll help you turn your release into a new opportunity, with excited industry all over the site, they're waiting to see your next great short.
