The other day, someone asked me, "So, at your little film festival, do you show like a dozen films or something like that?" I was like "Ya, right".

Back in 2011, the first year of the Shortz! Film Fest, we showed thirty films at the Cabaret theater. We thought that this wasn't bad for a first year film festival. Now we are in our fifth year, and we have doubled our original number. That's right, do the math. The 2015 Shortz! Film Fest line up will include SIXTY films, plus and hour of favorite films from past years. That is five dozen plus films dude and dudettes. Back in 2011 we had three judges, now in our fifth year, again multiply by five, we have FIFTEEN judges critiquing this years films. Judges that are industry professionals such as producers, writers, actors, and film reviewers from all over the country. 

And now we would like to multiply our audience by a factor of five. Let's pack the El Rey Theater in Chico California, on September 18^th, 19^th, and 20^th. Make your plans now to join us. Tickets are on sale now at CHICOTIX.COM. Twenty dollars gets you the entire weekend, that works out to three films for a buck! And don't forget, FREE POPCORN!
