The Shoreline Short Short Film Festival is coming back for its third year! 

Filmmakers from all over Washington have submitted their “short short” films and you’re invited to see the selected films on Saturday, April 6, at 7pm in the state-of-the-art Shoreline Community College Theater. Doors open at 6pm, and the movies start at 7pm.

The evening will showcase a juried selection of 3-10 minute films made by emerging and developing filmmakers working in our community.

The top filmmakers will be honored with impressive (but fragile) handmade Golden Sasquatch statues and cash prizes, and you can vote for your favorite filmmaker to win the People’s Choice Award!
