Talent Circle Super Shorts is the U.K.’s only major independent, international, film festival that celebrates and showcases films of no longer than five minutes in length.
Andrew Hai, Managing Director, Talent Circle said: “Super Shorts embraces all exhibition formats that enable film-makers to showcase their work. Super Short films are already ideal for watching on mobile phones and handheld devices. However, the most popular films are those that are no longer than one minute, which can be downloaded quickly and watched in an instant.
It is great to have experts like TLMH on board.” TLMH is providing a host of prizes including digital shooting kits and High Definition editing packages.
