Submit Your Short

Submit Your Short Film.

All submissions to ATX Short Film Showcase are processed via FilmFreeway.

Films do not have to have been shot in Texas, but they MUST involve a local filmmaker who can attend the event.
Films may not exceed 20 minutes in length, though exceptions can be made in extraordinary circumstances.
Filmmakers whose work is accepted must have someone integral to the film's production attend the event and participate in a Q&A.
Films created prior to 2018 are not eligible.
All films must be in English or have English subtitles.
We typically screen narrative shorts, but documentary shorts, music videos, and webisodes are also accepted as long as they do not exceed our time limit.
We don't require any kind of premiere status, nor do we restrict films that are already online.
Please note that submission does not guarantee acceptance. If your film is not accepted, it unfortunately does not mean just for the upcoming month. It is a hard no. Alternatively, if you have not heard back regarding acceptance for over a month, it could be that we are holding your film for a later month.
Submission fees are non-refundable. All films will be considered fairly. If a submitter failed to read the guidelines and is disqualified, even if they caught their error before we did, submission fees cannot be refunded because FilmFreeway does not refund their share.
