Love Your Shorts Film Festival will debut Feb. 11-13, 2011, in
Sanford, Florida, a community that embraces the arts – and is now ready
to add a movie festival to its art scene.

The festival is open to novice and veteran filmmakers, both amateur
and professional in all categories. The event will showcase films of up
to 30 minutes.

Over the course of three days, participants and audience members will
be able to see numerous short films divided by category and attend
discussion sessions with filmmakers and professionals.  Meanwhile,
filmmakers will showcase their creations and compete for cash prizes.

The inaugural Love Your Shorts Film Festival will be held in a former
USO headquarters in Sanford’s historic downtown, which sits along the
St. Johns River in the heart of Florida.

Sanford – right outside of emerging film hub, Orlando, FL – features a
downtown cultural corridor, numerous art galleries, a city-sponsored
jazz concert, movies in the park, an active community-theater troupe,
and other art activities and events.
