Tampa Bay filmmakers telling their stories through their lens.
The Carrollwood Cultural Center is pleased to invite audiences to its first annual The Studio Project Short Film Festival, featuring films by local Tampa Bay-area residents.
The films in this year’s festival are:
Circus Saved My Life by Stewart Lippe: A documentary about a Mongolian woman, a circus performer and a victim of domestic violence, who negotiated a contract with Barnum and Bailey Circus, enabling her to escape her situation in Mongolia and relocate to the United States to work.
The Owl in the Antique Store by Spencer Lowe: An artifact found in an antique store has a dark and mysterious past, and the carved figure’s influence has dire consequences for its new owner’s future.
Life is Short by Collen Herlihy: A young woman promises her grandmother she will take her ashes back to the place she was born in Ireland. While there, she learns the real reason her grandmother left Ireland.
Nerd in the Hood by Sage Skarshinski-Fred: A stereotypical nerd takes a detour while in a rush to arrive at the Engineering Convention, leading to him getting lost in a bad neighborhood.
Bob by Russell Savage: A teenage boy has a dream and wants to be a superhero. He goes to fight bad guys and gets beaten, heals, and takes them on again, only to get beaten again. Then the superhero arrives and saves him. The teenage boy realizes superheroes suck and puts the costume away, maybe to be brought back out one day.
A Different Kind of Bird by Ethan Huggins: A newlywed couple hosts their first Thanksgiving. Surely they can avoid the family drama, right?
The festival will showcase all six films each day to audiences. Admission to attend is $5 per day.

Admission: $5
