This festival is the largest independent film festival in the US, with upwards of 50,000 guests annually. Sundance offers a number of different categories, in both feature-length and short. This years entry fee for short film was $60, and though this is one of the most competitive film festivals in the world, it might be worth the money as acceptance into the festival is sure to skyrocket your work into Hollywood’s spotlight. To qualify for the Short Film competition, the work must be 50 minutes or less, including credits.
