2022 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.

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

Judges hail from all over the United States, as well as Canada, Mexico, and northern Europe.
