Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center

The Love Your Shorts Film Festival celebrates short films in Sanford, Florida (located just twenty minutes north of Orlando).
We screen only short films under 30 minutes in length. Films are divided into different blocks for screening and the audience votes for their favorites. The winning films from each block advance to a final block for a panel of judges to pick the overall festival winner.
At the end of each block a brief Q&A session is conducted between the filmmakers and audience members.
Tickets are sold per film block and are $10, except for “E” for Everyone, which is $3 per ticket.
You can also purchase a Weekend Pass for $70 which gets you in to all film blocks.
WARNING: Some films may contain adult content; viewer discretion is advised.
