Event Details
CoMo Shorts hosts its inaugural showcase for mid-Missouri filmmakers Jan. 25, 26 and 27. The Showcase provides a unique space for local filmmakers to screen their most promising short films. Because the State of Missouri has allowed its tax credit program for films to go unfunded for the past 5 years, making films in Missouri is harder than ever. We encourage anyone with an interest in indie filmmaking to attend a screening and meet the filmmakers.
The showcase will be held at Fretboard Coffee with three screening events: Jan. 25th & 26th at 6:30 p.m., and the 27th at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 online and $12 at the door. Each screening event will last approximately 1 hour with a possible 30 minute Q&A with filmmakers to follow. Celebrating our local artists, the Showcase will feature films made in Missouri or by Missouri filmmakers. Film submissions are accepted at comoshorts@gmail.com until Jan 5th.
