2018 Short Short Story Festival Judges

Each year, a different jury panel is assembled from interviewees from Spoiler Alert Radio over the past year.

The judges see the entire program and rate the films on overall appeal and technical merit.

This year's jury comprises creative talents with diverse backgrounds in animation, cinematography, editing, sound and music, and production and costume design.

Judges hail from the US, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East.
