The Awesome Con Short Film Festival presented by Astray Productions is held annually at Awesome Con. We are looking forward to heading into our 12th year in 2027!
Each year fans gather to watch specially selected short films in the categories of Comedy, Drama, Horror, Action, Science Fiction, Documentaries, and more. Now going into our 11th year! The Awesome Con Short Film Festival is one of the most fun and most fan friendly film festivals that you’ll attend or be part of. The goal of the film festival is to get your film seen and noticed and enjoyed, by not just your friends and family and other filmmakers, but by a real audience. And the truth is, in this type of setting, you never really know who might be sitting and watching your film.
