A rickety scientific expedition ventures down the Amazon River to a dark lagoon, in search of a mythic Creature! ¡Monstro! is a horror story. A love story. A ribald comedy!
Longtime Hollywood Shorts alum CHRIS ROMANO first screened with us during our very first year, with his hilarious short animation DREAMBOY.
Chris has enjoyed a warm welcome back to the festival world with his 3D masterpiece MONSTRO!, a throwback story with a monster from the watery abyss somewhere along the Amazon. The short features a great vocal performance by Emmy nominated entertainment TV reporter & actress Pili Montilla.
Chris created the animation in a collaboration with Side Effects Software, using their popular Houdini software. Read this great article on the making of the short.
In this webinar, Kimberley Browning will cover many topics including the expected length that a short film should have, the best festivals to enter and the best ways to pitch your short film etc.
Kimberley Browning is a filmmaker and film festival professional based in Los Angeles. She is the founder and festival director of Hollywood Shorts, a short film screening series and Emerging Filmmakers Program, currently in its 16th year. Kimberley also serves as an Associate Short Film Programmer at the Los Angeles Film Festival. She has served as Cinematic Arts Chair of YoungArts, the nominating committee for the White House’s Presidential Scholars. Kimberley recently directed Room 19, a short documentary about an innovative elementary teacher using art to inspire her students in Redondo Beach.

Carlos Lascano is a multi-disciplinary artist and award winning animator/director based in Madrid, Spain. LILA is his second animation selected into the HOLLYWOOD SHORTS programming – A Shadow of Blue was featured in 2013.
Carlos’ Bio
Director, illustrator, writer, and animator. In the past few years he has developed a universe of his own, where all his different forms of expression merge together in creating a whole, personal world.
His restless renaissance spirit has always pushed him in the search of the improvement and fusion of every kind of visual art: owner of a very personal style, his mixing of digital tools and real objects brought a new organic aesthetic concept to animation, area in which his artistic activity has been successfully devoted to for the last few years.
His work alternates between commercial and narrative projects. Within his extensive résumé, a Goya Awards nomination, a Preselection to the Academy Awards, and over 30 international prizes are to be found, as well as a participation as a jury -presided by David Lynch- in the Animation Category of Vimeo’s First Festival+Awards, held in New York in 2010.
His ability to tell stories and arouse emotions in the viewer have contributed to the massive spread of his work, earning him international recognition and making him a reference point in modern animation.
In 2011, Carlos was chosen by Amnesty International to write, coproduce and direct the official spot for their 50th anniversary, project in which he worked alongside Oscar winner Hans Zimmer.
Later that year, the Coca Cola company summoned Carlos to direct the official animated commercial spot the brand presented at the 2012 Eurocup.

Whether the renewed vitality of the short film content is based on the rise of consumer “pod casts”, the content crazed appetite of the internet or the internet’s short content offspring – Webseries — there’s no denying it’s a BIG world out there for “little movies.” Uncover a wealth of information on short filmmaking trends, current channels of distribution and the future of short film exposure from a panel of short film business and programming leaders.
The world of short film content has changed dramatically in recent years.
In fact, not since the “.com era” of the 1990s, have we seen such rethinking of how the short film figures into overall landscape of the entertainment industry.
Today there are literally thousands of film festivals for you to consider as you move your short film out to festival audiences. With cable television exposure for short films part of the distant dream of the 1990s, short filmmakers now find themselves contending with the options of a new virtual wild west — The Internet, Video-On-Demand (VOD) and pod casts — for greater content exposure than festival world could ever dream of or deliver.
But don’t stop there! With the 1000s of Internet sites available to you to post your film on, which site is best for your film? Is it more advantageous for your extended career to “YouTube” or “Vimeo” your short or for you to post your short on your own website and use your favorite social networking site to drive attention to your film? What is a “torrent site” and how can it figure into the distribution of your short? How do short film distributors (like Quat Media, SND Films, Shorts International) figure into today’s short film landscape?
Now consider this: With the incredible expansion of the methods of distribution and exhibition open to your short film, there has EVEN been a revolution in the very definition of what artistically comprises a short film.
What is a “festival” short? What is the difference between a “Sundance short,” a “Cannes short,” an “internet short” and a “Short Film Festival short”? What does the Academy of Motion Arts and Sciences look for in a short film? What is the definition of the most desirable form of content for a short film distributor?
Finally, and most provocatively, is it more advantageous for a short filmmaker today to make a single short (festival) film or to develop and produce a webseries?
For our May 24 seminar, BIG WORLD FOR LITTLE MOVIES: THE COMPLETE GUIDE FOR SHORT FILM CONTENT, we turn our total attention to unraveling the whole, overwhelming and complex world that today’s short filmmaker must deal with to take good care of their work.
THE COMPLETE GUIDE FOR SHORT CONTENT begins with a focus on issues surrounding film festivals, film festival release strategies for short films, a list of the World’s Best Short Film Festivals (and some not very good ones!) and establishing some definitions for the various forms or identities the short film artistically embodies today.
The second part of our evening’s seminar will be dedicated to an in depth discussion of short film distribution and exhibition. Not only will we open the door to a greater understanding of overall design of the content favored by distributors, but we will also examine rights and clearances issues AND help to sort out the vast offerings of the Internet and the potential of having your very own webseries.
Panelists Include:
Kim Adelman, Author, Making It Big In Shorts, The Ultimate Filmmaker’s Guide To Short Films,
Indiewire Short Film Columnist
