All Final Ten short films become Oscar-qualified, meaning they will be automatically eligible for an Academy Award nomination (by screening for a week at the Arena CineLounge in Hollywood in the county of Los Angeles from September 24th - 30th).
You Be the Judge!
Which of these Final Ten short films is the best? That's up to a worldwide audience to decide. Cinema-goers across the United States and around the globe will become instant film critics as they are handed a ballot upon entry that allows them to vote for the Best Film and Best Actor. MANHATTAN SHORT is the ultimate audience award that salutes the creative talents of both directors behind the camera and actors in front of it. Votes will be sent through to MANHATTAN SHORT HQ with the winner announced at ManhattanShort.com on Monday Oct 4.
