“This is the year for short films,” said ShortsTV CEO and Founder Carter Pilcher. “In a world that is shifting rapidly to a creator economy of short-form storytellers, these fifteen filmmakers are the pinnacle of talent. Nominees include some of the biggest names in global film, like Alfonso Cuarón, to some of the best-known storytellers, like Charlie Mackesy. The Oscars celebrate great filmmaking and the Oscar Shorts are some of the year’s best films in any category. They break new ground, tell stories with brilliant flashes of imagination and elevate the art of storytelling in new ways. We are thrilled to bring the Oscars’ best films once again to the big screen for audiences across the country.”
