Rock The Shorts Film Festival is a Los Angeles-based independent short film festival that celebrates diverse storytelling in films ranging from 2 to 40 minutes. Founded in 2020 by Roxanne Marciniak and Josef Csongei, the festival's mission is to inspire and recognize filmmakers, writers, and actors who create short-form content. It showcases films across various genres including comedy, drama, thriller, animation, horror, LGBTQ+, sci-fi, and documentary. The festival features an awards lineup that includes categories such as Best Comedy, Drama, Animated Short, Documentary, and an Audience Award, with events typically held in venues like the LOOK Dine-In Cinema in Glendale and the Whisky Hotel in Hollywood. Rock the Shorts has also partnered with ShortsTV to broadcast selections from the festival.
