In December, we received 305 submissions. There were many shorts submitted from the United States, France, Canada, South Korea &amp; China. Among the submissions, there were many short films created by young filmmakers; roughly 40% were from 1<sup>st<\/sup> time directors &amp; 30% from film school students. Once again there were many stories about families but for this month we received many romance themes shorts from 1<sup>st<\/sup> love to rom-coms. Perfect for the coming spring season perhaps but there were also many that were about break-ups rather than happy endings. There were many stories about isolation, solitude &amp; missed chances more likely due to the current state of the world due to Covid. Today is the final day for accepting submissions in the U-25, Musical Short Film Pitch Competition &amp; Branded Shorts. We look forward to your submissions.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortshorts.org\/en\/creators\/\">https:\/\/www.shortshorts.org\/en\/creators\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph \/-->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph \/-->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><em><strong>~ SSFF &amp;
