NOTE: This festival is only open to filmmakers based in the Los Angeles Metro area.

Take Your Medicine and Smile Productions is back to once again showcase the strange, experimental and otherwise unconventional shorts that are pointing the way to cinema's future.Send us your surreal, DIY, absurdist, structural and abstract works, so we can share them with an audience of alternative film lovers and filmmakers at our tenth screening in Sherman Oaks in March. Selected filmmakers become a part of our community and are supported and promoted long after the screening is complete.We are committed to being accessible to the smallest budgets while also keeping the event running, so submission fees are a flat $11.

We're all about keeping it local and keeping it weird. We want the strange and the unconventional and the experimental. If it's too weird for everyone else, try sending it to us.
