Just in time for Halloweenie we’ve added the 2017 Midnight Shorts Competition to our Vimeo channel. The Midnight Shorts are the most fun because these shorts get freaky, dirty, crazy, ridiculous, sexy, weird, and a wealth of other colorful adjectives. Or as some might say, “You can’t unsee that!” Enter at your own risk!
Check out more great short films from past editions of SXSW on our SXSW Film Festival Vimeo Channel.
