2013 Short Short Story Festival Judges
Each year, a different jury panel is assembled from participants in the Spoiler Alert Radio film interview show from the previous year.
Each of the two programs has a different jury panel reviewing the seven top films in that program.
The judges rate the films on the basis of visual and audio presentation, storytelling, originality, and overall appeal.
This year's jury comprises creative talents with diverse backgrounds in directing, editing, cinematography, composition, and production design. Judges hail from the US, Canada, South America, and Europe.
