Virginia Emerging Filmmakers Festival
presented by The Film Studio at Shenandoah University
in association with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
Join us in the historic Shenandoah Valley for the First Annual Virginia Emerging Filmmakers Festival. We will present short films from current high school and college students across the United States. Films must be 15 minutes in length or less. We will accept films in the categories of animation, comedy/drama, horror, documentary or music video. Submission deadline is to be determined. Films will be considered by a team of judges from the Shenandoah University faculty and alumni base, the programming team at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, and guest judges including producer Mike Elliott and Dr. Susan Kehoe (Director of Educational Media Services at George Mason University). Selected films will screen for a live audience at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester. Acceptance notifications will contain information on discounted hotel rooms at the Country Inn & Suites hotel next to the theater.
