BEST OF THE FEST 2023
Just because this year is one set doesn't mean we aren't bringing you the best submissions in short film from around the world! As we relaunch into this new world, we and our filmmakers are dedicated to bringing you the absolute best. We are so excited to offer this afternoon of entertaining, thought-provoking, short film.

FAQ
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
There are no minimum age requirements, but we do recommend a general "PG13" rating on the festival as a whole. Since this is not genre specific, some of our short films have things such as adult situations and topics, violence and adult language. We do offer brief descriptions of the selections on our website. Anything our panel deems "r-rated" will be noted on our website.
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Parking is on-street parking with handicap access. New Haven, MO is currently undergoing a street redo so there are some "plated" areas and construction, but still all accessible.
