Celebrating Underground and Alternative Short Films
We Are Stronger Together
Free Publicity For Crowdfunding and Crew Searches!
The Adopt A Short Project is all about rejuvenating cinema by helping L.A. based filmmakers, film lovers and crew members find each other so they can bring innovative short films to life.
If you're a patron wanting to help fund cinematic art, crew looking to join a cool project, or a filmmaker seeking the aforementioned people, you're in the right place.
Each month we select the most exciting short film currently in pre-production and share a video about it on this site and on social media with information about how to fund it or join the crew.
