GAINESCON - Shorts Edition: The Action, Sci-Fi & Horror Film Festival

Welcome to GainesCon - The Virtual and In-Person Shorts Edition! This is a film festival geared to the diversity and wonderment of the independent Action Sci-Fi and Horror filmmaker. We are excited to present amazing short stories from around the world. As moviemakers ourselves, we understand the difficulty in completing a film. We know it’s not just about how much money was spent on a project, but how it was told. It’s about the story and heart being applied that makes it amazing. Which is why we have a slew of categories you can apply to. Within the spirit of independent creativity, we have also made “No Budget, No Problem”. It is meant for shorts that had a budget of 1,500.00 or less to work with. We will also have a costume contest to extend the notoriety of those who want to share their love and excitement of their favorite character. Also send in your short screenplay and have us indulge in your world that only words can describe. Having all these amazing content under one event won’t be fitting unless there was a way to award those who with exceptional material. On the last day we will have an award ceremony that will involved 3 types of awards for those who are selected. 1. "The Red Dragon" - this award will for Best Picture Short only. This is will include a Final Draft license, Dragon Certificate and a chance for a distribution with our partners. 2. "The Gold Dragon" - This will be given to all the winners except, Costume, Action Sequence and Movie Trailer" 3. "The Dragon Certificate" - This is given to the winners for Best Costume, Action Sequence and Movie Trailer. So, join us and let us see what you have. We look forward to the worlds and stories you have conjured up!
