Kimberley Browning of Hollywood Shorts will lead a workshop on the Documentary Short marketplace.
We will discuss the viability of the short documentary. The Short documentary can be very beneficial along a filmmakers path. Kimberley will screen some of her favorite short documentaries. 
HOLLYWOOD SHORTS is a Monthly Screenings celebrating the outstanding achievements in short filmmaking and animation from both U.S. and international directors and their creative teams. Over 300 short and animated films are programmed year round. HOLLYWOOD SHORTS launched in October 1998 at a music venue on the westside called THE JOINT. The overflowing crowd packed the house, and filled the sidewalk outside watching films by Paula Goldberg, Mark Kelly, Frank Tota, and animation by Joe Pearson. Since that night, HOLLYWOOD SHORTS quickly became one of the most popular short film series in Los Angeles.
Their annual Spotlight Screenings began as part of our monthly series, and have grown to become their own stand alone events. The annual and bi-annual festivals are dedicated to showcase specific groups of filmmakers we believe deserve an opportunity to step into the forefront to share their work with the film and television community.
Their SPOTLIGHT events include:
FEB: African American Filmmakers Celebration at The American Cinematheque
SPRING: Women Filmmakers Shortsfest
FALL: Animation Shortsfest
