LaCie PushPlay Short Film Competition. The aim of the two companies is to promote young independent creators and filmmakers and the best short films.

Regardless of genre, each submitted film will be evaluated based on certain initial criteria.

  • Is it less than 20 minutes?
  • Is she emotionally attractive?
  • Does it create strong emotions?
  • Is it provocative?
  • Is it original?

Big budgets, famous actors, and flashy special effects are attractive, but they are not part of the criteria.
