'Deep Shock' will be screened in Hollywood!

Although some restrictions have been lifted in the Los Angeles area and to guarantee the opportunity and advanced time for travel preparations for those who want to attend the event, balancing it with the security for everyone, the "Independent Shorts Awards" has decided to postpone the event for the Fall.

Live red carpet annual gala, with the screening of the nominated films will take place immediately before the '2021 Annual Awards', which means the nominees for 2020 and 2021 will have a chance to participate in the two events.

I remember that 'Deep Shock' has been nominated for 'Best Horror Short of the Year' at the 2020 Annual Awards.

My film was shortlisted from the pool of awards winners of 12 monthly rounds, between April 2019 and March 2020, chosen from more than 5000 submitted projects overall, and also from the top #150 finalists of the year.

Check out the full list of the 74 nominated projects here.
