Join Us for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the 5 Shorts Project!
Philadelphia, we are thrilled to announce that the 5 Shorts Project is celebrating a milestone—our 10th Anniversary! On November 23rd, 2024, we will mark a decade of empowering diverse voices and showcasing untold stories through film and media. This unforgettable celebration will take place at a premier venue in Philadelphia (details to be announced soon), and it promises to be a night full of creativity, inspiration, and community.
A Decade of Impact
Since our founding, the 5 Shorts Project has been dedicated to empowering emerging filmmakers and storytellers in Philadelphia, particularly those from underrepresented communities. Over the past ten years, we’ve supported over 100 creators, hosted red-carpet events, and impacted thousands of community members with films that spark conversation and inspire change.
