Show us your shorts!
 
Festival Director, Karen Collins, a veteran filmmaker whose credits include "Gettysburg" and "The Thin Red Line," believes that “it is important to celebrate independent shorts. Often this is the purest form of filmmaking. The independent short often tackles subjects and ideas that would be considered too risky for mainstream filmmaking. Here, a director has the opportunity to educate, entertain and move his or her audience in a more intimate way than can be achieved in a multiplex.”

In 2013, the Underexposed Film Festival YC continues its focus on high quality, independently created short films, where all films submitted will be in competition. On November 15-16, 2013, film enthusiasts will converge up on the 150-seat Community Performance Center in Rock Hill, SC to be exposed, engaged, intrigued, enlightened, challenged, and entertained by films that go places and do things that feature length films only dream of.

Independent filmmakers from across the world are invited to submit professionally presented films with a runtime of 45 minutes or less to participate in this juried competition. Films must be a Narrative, Animation, Experimental, or Documentary.​ Details and full submission guidelines are available at withoutabox.com. Please visit our festival's page there.
