One of our favorite parts of the festival.
Hearing filmmakers talk about their work, answer questions, and connect with the audience!
These moments are why we do this.
Taking a look back at the beginning of the month and feeling incredibly grateful!
Thank you to everyone who attended, submitted their films, and showed up to support independent filmmakers!
It was another amazing year for the 512 ATX Short Film Festival! See you next year! #512asff #indie #happynewyear
