Below the Line Film Festival at Episcopal Actors Guild

The Below The Line Film Festival is named for crew members and creatives who don't get the fancy billing and publicity that Hollywood is known for. They are the gaffers, the prop masters, the set dressers, the electricians, the animators, the PAs - all the people who make films happen every single day. We want to provide an opportunity for people, who may not have the financial resources or connections, to have their work seen and critiqued. Filmmaking is a community venture, we know that, and we believe all members of the community should be honored, thus our title.

Our short film festival accepts films from filmmakers of all kinds, types, pedigree, nationality, race, etc. Films must be no longer than 25 minutes.

Selected films in our festival will be screened in person in New York City! After that, films will be available online to stream from anywhere!
