Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets for each show through The StageCrafts ticketing portal, since every production's tickets go on sale once that project registers for the festival.
- Stay for the whole FrostyFest Film night, because the audience votes after each block of shorts to choose the favorites live.
- FrostyFest Film is rated for ages 13 and up and runs about two hours, so it suits teens and adults better than younger children.
- Look at the festival line-up again as December gets closer, because new shows are added as they register.
- If you have a holiday short film, submit it through the FrostyFest Film page on FilmFreeway before the final deadline of November 11.
