Salute Your Shorts film festival
Our mission is to give the filmmakers a platform to share the things that are important to them and part of all that is attention to them: us knowing their names, us knowing their films inside and out, asking a couple questions when we do a QnA, and part of that is providing an audience that also is excited to listen.
This weekend showcases the efforts of independent filmmakers, as Salute Your Shorts screens short films from around the world. After a grueling screening process, festival director Becky Murdoch and creative director Erin Brown made their agonizing selections from nearly 600 films submitted. What remains is the very strongest, most unique, engaging collection of short films they could show in a single weekend.
Jennica Schwartman of Artemis Motion Pictures posted an in-depth interview with Becky, Erin, and a few others on their team. We recommend reading the whole thing, but here is a bit from Epiphany Space founder/director Melissa Smith about how this festival ties in with the mission of Epiphany Space:
The heart of Epiphany Space is to empower artists to be able to create and to be fully who they are. And so, the way in which the film festival is unfolding, is exciting because I’m seeing the excitement of the community as they’re engaging with other artists and hearing their stories, understanding the thought and the heart behind the stories that they’re telling. It’s exciting.
