HELLO HOLLYSHORTS ATTENDEES
Welcome!
It is our pleasure hosting you at the 2013 HollyShorts Film Festival. Our dedicated team of short film enthusiasts has put together, we feel, a festival that is a world class experience for all attendees. From the quality of our films, to the massive opening night red carpet event and our first annual HSFF Film Conference, we strive to bridge the gap between young and established Hollywood. This is our annual goal. We hope you enjoy!
