NITTY GRITTY is an unconventional film competition.

An event intended to be a celebration.       

Not just another

film fest.

What to expect

One day devoted to showcasing a variety of selected short films and celebrating. The selected films will show in 3 short film blocks. One block will be made up of Student films, the other blocks will be a mashup of Oklahoma short films and out-of-state short films alongside each other. All films shown are in competition for the awards. We want to see films (20 mins or less) that you’re proud of (no matter how old or new) that may have gone unseen or underappreciated. Throw them in and lets go.

There will be a small awards ceremony to follow and there will be a handful of after party options to select from nearby, based on your taste.

I never thought it would be possible to film-fest SO hard! I hope it lives up to the hype.
