BIRTH OF SOFIE

The Short Film Awards, affectionately nicknamed the SOFIES, was born out of a love for the special artform known as the Short Film.  Due to its brief nature, the Short Film genre fosters an unmatched spirit of creativity, resourcefulness and independence that inspires, stirs and transforms.  

SOFIE seeks to bring the segmented short film community together to honor, support and enjoy the best work in Short Film.

MISSION

• To extol the Short Film as an important and unique artform and outlet for social commentary.

• To spotlight and honor the talent and hard work of the best producers, directors, writers, actors, cinematographers, sound engineers, stylists and other creators of short films.
  

• To generate revenue for Short Filmmakers to recoup production costs, as well as to aid in the production of future short films.
