You make it, we show it! Submit a film to be seen by a great audience at this film-based Chicago show.
About this Event

Windy City Shorts is a place for Chicago moviemakers to show their short (ie. under 10 minutes) work. You put the time into making something, now you want to watch it with an audience (we get it, we’re all narcissists at heart). That’s what we’re here for!!!!!!

We strive to be a consistent outlet for new work in the Chicago movie making scene. There are no judges and there are no winners, just a receptive audience interested in watching a smorgasbord of short (really can’t emphasize that part enough! Everything needs to be under 10 minutes long - the shorter the movies, the more we’re able to screen!) movies.

Submitting is free, and all types of movies are welcome. We ask - neigh, demand - that you attend in person for us to screen your movie. Can't expect folks to show up for your work if you don't show up, right?

If you're not a filmmaker, this is a terrific show to attend to see some of Chicago's most creative people constantly iterating their work. Come experience the fun!
