View Our Shorts: Short Films Festival

After all of the fun we had last season, we had to bring  it back! View Our Shorts: Short Film Festival returns to The American Theatre on Thursday, January 28 at 7:30pm.

A short film is a fun way to tell a story without a lot of filler and meaningless scenes. These films are between 4-19 minutes long so the creators have to get right to the gut of the story.

Get captivated and experience first-hand the talent our local filmmakers have to offer with their creations at The Phoebus Film Club’s  Short Film Festival. There will be eight features, three of which are produced by Regent University students.
