Greetings from Big Sur, CA.
Here is an invitation to all film-makers, distributors and producers of short film to
submit film(s) for consideration in the
8th Annual Big Sur International
Short Film Screening Series.
My name is Magnus Toren, Director of the Screening Series, held from June to August, 2013 at the Henry Miller Memorial Library. In seven short years, the series has become one of the most exciting and unique film screening series in the world. Perhaps it's because of our world-class jury of Oscar winners, producers, and artists (full list below.) Or it could be our ideal location, situated practically half-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Or maybe it's because films are screened under the stars beneath towering redwoods in a natural outdoor amphitheater, steps from the Pacific Ocean. The fact is there are many reasons.
