The winners of the Indy Shorts and Heartland festivals receive not only a cash prize, but also a chance to show off their work on one of the largest stages in the world at the Oscars. Grand-prize winners automatically get entered to be contenders for Oscar nominations. This year 12 films from both festivals were nominated in 39 different categories.

Ault says while the Oscar nominations and prizes are great, for a filmmaker, seeing work displayed on a big screen as it’s intended is a rewarding experience.

“We are an opportunity for people who are creating films to get their films seen by lots of people in the industry, and to see it on the big screen,” Ault says. “I think as we have evolved with technology and iPads and cell phones that you can watch movies on, that is not how a filmmaker wants you to watch their film. A lot of people think, ‘Oh, it’s just films, it’s just watching movies.’ We believe that films can be transformative for any mind, however old you are.”

Upcoming Heartland Film events include the Best of the Fest, a showing of last year’s contest winners at the Historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin, and the Indy Shorts International Film Festival from July 18 through 23. To learn more about Heartland Film, visit heartlandfilm.org.
