2021 COPA SHORTS FILM FESTIVAL

 

NOVEMBER 6-7, 2021

 

Grab your popcorn!  We have films to share for our 5th Annual shorts festival.  You’ll be glad you joined us…

Animation! Comedy! Sci Fi! Foreign, High School, College AND Screenplays – so much to see!

Plus, we have a Filmmaker Workshop starting at 10:00 AM on Saturday, November 6th to share:

Creating Comedy From The Ordinary

 Pat Battistini, last year’s Audience Choice Award winner, will be discussing where we find humor in everyday life and how to expand it into creative writing and filmmaking. The workshop will explore how filmmakers can learn from examples of past comedies and create their own comedic moments within their writing.

 

 

 

We all need comedy – join us to learn how!

 

 

This Comedy workshop festival block will provide you with insights on how to find comic moments and incorporate comedy in a screenplay or film.

See xerb.tv to register and purchase your ticket now! Register before November 6th so you can start watching on Saturday November 6th without any delays.

HOW CSFF VIRTUAL WORKS

  • Connect with our streaming partner at xerb.tv or go directly to the Copa Shorts streaming channel: click-here
  • Look over the film blocks. We have information to review for each film block. Love one particular film? – or you have a relative whose film is in the festival?  If you want to see it again you can do that, but be sure you’re done with viewing by 11:59 pm on November 7th.

  • Only one ticket for $10.00 will take you to any and all parts of the festival.  (You’ll have to wait a day to access “Best of the Fest.”)

  • Each film block will have audience participation. Stick around to enter your comments in the drop down so a filmmaker can respond.
  • Special surprise!  See the “Best of the Fest” film block, which shows starting at noon on Sunday November 7th, to learn which of the films were rated best comedy. At the end of the showing, audience members will be able to vote for their favorite. The winner becomes the “Audience Choice” and receives an award.
  • We’ll announce all of the award winners – except for Audience Choice after you’ve voted at the end of the “Best of the Fest.”
