Indie short Film Series

The INDIE short FILM SERIES returns on Saturday, July 13, 2024 - 7:30pm at the Vinegar Hill Theatre in Charlottesville, Virginia. Although the Series was converted to an annual full fledge short film festival in 2024, the organizer is committed to provide film enthusiasts with the event they have appreciated. The Series will continue on a quarterly basis, instead of monthly. This provides filmmakers with a platform while satisfying the cultural demand by the audience.

Each installment of the Series features up7- 9 short films, followed by a filmmaker's panel discussion. Many of the previously screened films have appeared at the Sundance Film Festival, Tribeca. and many others.

The founder of the Series is an award-winning writer, director and producer. Part of his mention is to make the region a place where indie filmmakers want to visit to screen their films as well as use to film their next project. Far from being Hollywood and New York, but Charlottesville can serve as something similar for the Indie Filmmaker.

Screening short films on a regular basis in Charlottesville enhances the area's cultural landscape. To build a local film industry, we must have active filmmakers, according to Cooper, the Series and Festival's founder.
