Windy City Shorts is a place for Chicago moviemakers to show their short (ie. under 10 min) work. You put the time into making something, now you want to watch it with an audience (we get it, we're all narcissists at heart). That's what we're here for!!!!!!!! We want to be a consistent outlet for new work in the Chicago moviemaking scene. There are no judges and there are no winners, just a receptive audience interested in watching a smorgasbord of short (really can't emphasize that part enough, we're looking for stuff under 10 minutes long – the shorter the movies the more we're able to screen!) movies. Submitting is free, and all types of movies are welcome, but our main rule is that you have to attend (and buy a ticket) for us to actually screen your movie.

The whole point is for people to watch their stuff with an audience. Why would you submit and then not show when we screen it? Especially if you're in Chicago, which is the other prerequisite I forgot to mention? And you didn't even email us that you're not gonna make it? What the shit? BUT I DIGRESS. AND I DROPPED THE WE THING. JUST SHOW UP IF YOU'RE SUBMITTING TO THIS THING BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE PAIN TO SUSS OUT WHO IS ACTUALLY AT THE VENUE OR NOT AND IT'LL MAKE LIFE WAY EASIER ON EVERYONE'S END IF YOU JUST COME AND BRING ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND DON'T STAY AT HOME WATCHING SUITS.
