Hey All!

So the 19th edition of the Short Shorts Film Festival comes to a close! 25 days, 7 venues, record-breaking crowds & the best short films from around the world.

It’s always a great pleasure & a privilege to host the invited filmmakers & creators from around the world & here in Japan. The Q&A’s are always lively, interesting & a real treat for the audience.

Let’s give props & respect to the hardest working festival team in the world, the amazing volunteers & all the visual/audio teams that make this festival possible year after year.

Now it’s on to the Fall screenings & then, the 20th ANNIVERSARY festival next year!

Have a great summer!                                                                                   See-ya
