2024 Short Short Story Film Festival

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

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

Hailing from Europe and the Americas, this year's jury comprises creative talents with diverse backgrounds in cinematography, production design, editing, casting, sound, music, animation and SFX.
