About the MisCon Short Film Festival
From nail biting terror, to near future technology, and everything in-between, the MisCon Short Film Festival is a celebration of all things genre. Where better to find such an audience than at a popular Science Fiction Convention? Every year MisCon grows and, with it, the opportunity for filmmakers to share their stories with a greater number of people. Submissions in horror, sci-fi, and fantasy will be accepted.

How the Competition Works
A panel of select judges will review all accepted works, and rate them according to several criteria including, but not limited to: direction, writing, cinematography, acting, makeup, wardrobe, and score.
The best of these submissions will then be entered into the Audience Awards Festival, to be viewed and rated by the most appropriate judges of all: Your Audience.
There will be winners in each category of the competition.
MisCon International Short Film Festival proudly accepts entries on FilmFreeway, the world's #1 way to enter film festivals and creative contests.
