About us
Short Box Films is a digital initiative built with a simple yet powerful belief — every filmmaker deserves an audience.
In today’s world, countless films are made with passion, heart, and incredible storytelling, yet remain unseen, lost between film festival rejections and the overwhelming competition for online visibility. We created Short Box Films to change that — by offering a free, curated platform where independent filmmakers can share their work with the world, without barriers, high submission fees, or long waiting periods.
At Short Box Films, we invite filmmakers from all backgrounds, genres, languages, and styles to submit their films — for free, forever. Our team carefully curates the submitted works based on originality, storytelling, execution, and the emotional connection they build with the audience. Selected films are proudly hosted on our official YouTube channel, creating a permanent showcase space for fresh voices in cinema to thrive and be discovered.
Our mission is to amplify independent films that deserve to be seen — not just temporarily at festivals, but long-term, living and breathing online, reaching viewers across the globe.
And it’s not just about hosting films. We believe that filmmakers should also benefit from their success. That’s why, once our YouTube channel becomes monetized, revenue will be shared with filmmakers — because your work deserves not just an audience, but a reward too.
(As a special thanks, the first 25 selected films will receive 100% of the revenue earned from their films.)
Why Short Box Films?
Our Vision
We dream of a world where every filmmaker — regardless of budget, fame, or location — has an equal opportunity to share their story with an audience that appreciates it. Short Box Films exists not as a gatekeeper but as a bridge, connecting emerging creators to audiences worldwide.Our journey has just begun, but together with our filmmakers and viewers, we are building a space where authentic storytelling is honored and nurtured — one film at a time.
Submit Your Film
Your story deserves the spotlight.
At Short Box Films, we accept free submissions year-round from independent filmmakers who want their work to be seen, shared, and celebrated. Whether you’ve just wrapped your first short or you're premiering a bold feature — if it's not yet available online, it belongs here.
No fees. No deadlines. Just visibility that lasts.
