“ Despite a global pandemic keeping us all at home, Palm Springs ShortFest was able to produce a 22-event Forum over the course of a week, connecting 350+ filmmaking teams with 116 film industry leaders at times of the day when we could maximize access around the world. Not only was the Forum much more robust this year, but we were able to include people from all around the world who might never have had the resources to attend the in-person festival. I am incredibly proud of what we were able to accomplish this year, and the countless emails of appreciation from filmmakers and industry alike tells me it was all worth the incredible effort.” Clay Pruitt, ShortFest 2020 Forum Producer Jason Sondhi Short of the Week Jason Todd H264 Distribution Jeremy Podeswa Rebelfilms Inc Joan Wai Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Jon Tolins Nemorino Productions Jonathan Epstein Strategy PR Consulting Jude Dry Indiewire Kim Sherman Independent Producer Kyle Alvarez Director Lauren Dineley Writ Large Lauren McBride Novel Pictures Lauren Williams Echo Lake Management Laurent Crouzeix Short Film Market Clermont-Ferrand Lena Vurma Filmwelt Verleihagentur Leslie Wasserman Richard Hicks Casting Linda Olszewski ShortsTV - TV Cortos, Oscar Shorts Linda Pianigiani Ghetto Film School Liz Manashil Picture Motion Malina Saval Variety Martina Fiorellino Premium Films Megan Costello HamptonsFilm Melora Waters Actor Meredith Alloway ATW Productions Mette Norkjaer BOOM!
