FUTURE SHORTS

Future Shorts is one of the world’s leading and most innovative short film distributors and exhibitors.

Established in 2003 by entrepreneur Fabien Riggall, our ongoing passion and mission is three-fold. That is, through a rapidly expanding network of monthly festivals held in bars, clubs, cinemas, and similar venues throughout many of the world’s major cities (including London, New York, Rome, Toronto, Moscow and Helsinki), we aim to:

· Satisfy our target audience’s (18 to 30 year olds) growing demand for a distinctive 21st century alternative to mainstream cinema-going.

· Promote the appreciation and enjoyment of the short film format to a wider audience by using a variety of genres – including, but not limited to, drama, documentary, animation, and music video.

· Inspire and exhibit the production of original and challenging high-quality material by independent short filmmakers across the world.


As a result, Future Shorts is now perceived by audiences, venues and the press alike to be the most cutting-edge of short film labels:

· ‘The eclecticism of Future Shorts’ selection is really their greatest strength’ Time Out

· ‘A refreshing alternative to mainstream multiplex fodder.’ The Times

· ‘Esteemed promoters of movie miniatures.’ The Independent on Sunday
