Whitby in Shorts goes global
Here’s some up-to-date news I received about the great new Whitby in Shorts short film festival. Whitby is a fantastic place for filmmakers and there’s loads of talent in the area as well. The website goes live very soon. Check it out…
The BRAND NEW “WHITBY IN SHORTS” web-site goes online, and open for ENTRIES.
From Friday late afternoon/early evening, the world will be watching as the new site goes online, promoting Whitby’s very own nine-day wonder:
240 short-films, (the twenty best in each of twelve Genres) will be screened at five star venues around the town, competing for top Awards and Prizes. So if you have a short-film (3 -15 minutes in length) then join in the Wississiffi spirit and enter the Festival;
“WHITBY IN SHORTS” is a community-driven community-serving non-profit initiative that has already paid its own way, brought a lot of business to the Coliseum, and raised well over a thousand pounds for the Whitby Dog Rescue (unfunded by national or local government).
It’s not a coast thing – IT’S A WHITBY THING! And everybody is welcome to be a part of it.
Already LOCAL sponsors are coming forward to support the event, and other LOCAL organisations are getting involved in the Wississiffi FRINGE EVENTS CALENDAR.
So visit the new web-site over the weekend. Find out more. Find out how you can help. IT’S A WHITBY THING!
