Shorty's Short Film Contest
Each year, inspired by the same muse that sang to Director Irvin “Shorty” Yeaworth Jr. when he conceived of The Blob, filmmakers of all ages compose entries for our Annual Shorty’s Short Film Contest.
Winning films will be screened for the public during Blobfest 2022 (July 8-10). Prizes will be awarded to the winners on Friday night.
Rules:
- Submit your short film by June 23 via email only to bob@thecolonialtheatre.com
- MOV and Mp4 files are preferred.
- Films must be under 3 minutes in length.
- Family friendly content only, please. If you’re wondering whether something is appropriate, then it probably isn’t right for this contest.
- Your film entry should be Sci-Fi related. Riffs on The Blob, a blob, or related movie themes are welcomed but not required.
- You must include a required item at least once in your entry: a gooey stick. Any films entered into the Shorty’s Short Film Contest that do NOT feature the appearance or presence of a gooey stick at least once will be disqualified
