The Toronto Short Film Festival is in its second year of screenings and this is a great opportunity for MAP students to enter their projects into. With no pre-screening requirements and open to all shorts under 50 minutes (including documentaries), it’s worth spending a couple of minutes to enter. The DEADLINE is November 18th so there’s still almost a solid month to get your submission together! There’s also a late entry deadline that’s not until Jan. next year. Some more info below.
