SHOW US YOUR FILM!
WHO ARE WE
We are the founders of both the Bodega Bay and Healdsburg International Short Film Festivals based in the prestigious wine country region of Sonoma County, CA..
Our festivals have included over 1,000 short films from 50 countries submitted from filmmakers of all ages and walks of life. The winning films from past festivals have included an Academy Award winning short and our panel of notable judges from the entertainment industry makes our festival an attraction for new and veteran filmmakers alike.
Notable past judges
Filmmaker Jonathan Salemi went on to direct such films as
“The Last Deal” (2023).
Now the festival is expanding to different world-wide venues on an on-going basis. This means the festival is no longer tied to a specific calendar date. Rather, we have screening seasons. Each film competes across the season the winners are selected at the end of each season.
