Pasadena Shorts 2024

Pasadena Shorts is a non-profit organization that provides a wide variety of programs and initiatives for independent artists and storytellers working in film and digital media. Fees from Festival submissions help us keep the process as rigorous and democratic as possible and to further support the independent creative community.

What are the submission deadlines and what are the fees?

The following deadlines are the dates by which we must receive a completed application for your project via FilmFreeway, including a digital upload or link. All submissions are handled identically, regardless of which deadline you choose. Late deadline submissions are processed and screened in exactly the same manner as early and official deadline submissions. The only difference is the fee. We encourage you to submit your project as early as possible to take advantage of lower submission fees.
