Hudson NY Shorts

This is Hudson NY Shorts fifth year! This year's Best in Festival Winner will be awarded $500. HNYS will also facilitate a reading and production consultation for the Winning Screenplay! Filmmakers can expect to join a community when they enter the festival. The curator, Bonnie O'Neill, is a filmmaker and professor from San Francisco who has dedicated her life to the art of film. Her goal is not just to introduce great short films to amazing audiences, but to bring together filmmakers from creative pockets around the world. Our festival will be cautiously hybrid in 2021. Coronavirus permitting, we will screen at the progressive venue, Time and Space Limited. TSL has been a creative fixture in Hudson since 1991. It is a cinephile's dream come true dedicated to the exploration of film. It's also a place where artists perform, display and expand into new areas. It's where filmmakers will make connections. It draws an interesting mix in the audience. Regardless of a live event, we will have an online component screening the entire festival for one week and holding an ancillary filmmaker Zoom Q & A. If we don't screen at TSL this year due to Covid limitations, the winning film will screen live the following year. We have some fantastic advisors/judges including Ken Schretzmann who was the Editor of classic animation films such as The Lorax, Toy Story 3 and The Secret Life of Pets and Martin Huberty , Producer of Fried Green Tomatoes, Up Close and Personal, The War, Red Corner and Producer/Director of Deserter.
