Mini Movie Channel will be at the Palm Springs International Short Fest (PSIFF) in a big way for the week of August 21 thru August 27. And it is hot out there. PSIFF is a festival that Mini Movie Channel endorses and highly recommends to anyone who likes mini movies. The Festival is showing 320 short films in competition, and another 2,000+ will be in the marketplace. This festival is one of the prime sources of content for Mini Movie Channel. This year, MMC is showing its support as a Platinum Sponsor, awarding the juried prize for the Mini Movie Best Live Action short under 15 minutes.
In spite of the heat, or maybe because of it, the Short Fest is in its 14th year and has become the major short film festival and market in the U.S. Hundreds of filmmakers arrive from around the world to see their films screened at the Camelot Theatres where they play to a very loyal and constantly growing audience of thousands of film lovers. The programming is superb and very diverse, ranging from popular comedies and dramas to astonishing animation to enlightening documentaries and all the niches in between.
Mini Movie Channel will have a booth in the Marketplace, so all you film folk can go meet people from MMC. In addition, Peter Hanson, manager of acquisitions, will participate in a workshop entitled "Taking Your Short To Market," which is devoted to the practical realities of dealing with the short film marketplace. That’s on Saturday, August 23 at 11:00am at the Hilton Hotel.
So pack your shorts, go see some incredible films and meet some big people in the short film world.
