Love Your Shorts Film Festival

The Love Your Shorts Film Festival celebrates short films in Sanford, Florida (located just twenty minutes north of Orlando). We screen only short films under 30 minutes in length. Films are divided into different blocks for screening and the audience votes for their favorites. The winning films from each block advance to a final block for a panel of judges to pick the overall festival winner. Winners of each block earn the festival's award, the "Monroe," an original piece of metal artwork named after Sanford's Lake Monroe. At the end of each block a brief Q&A session is conducted between the filmmakers and audience members. During the weekend LYSFF also hosts: - Education Day, designed for seasoned and amateur filmmakers - Opening Night Party exclusive to filmmakers and sponsors - Sunday Filmmakers Brunch - After Party at one of Sanford's famous watering holes MISSION STATEMENT To support, promote and recognize the art of short film and its artists.
