Awesome Con’s Short Film Festival is set to hit your living room today; due to the current conditions (PLEASE LET THEM BE OVER SOON), it only made sense to take things online this year, and that’s exactly what organizers have done. There are over TEN HOURS of free screenings to enjoy, with films spanning science-fiction, action, horror, documentary, comedy, and drama. The lineup includes works from (and featuring) Rider Strong and Shiloh Strong, Ted Raimi, Larisa Oleynik, James Van Der Beek, Diablo Cody, Hailee Steinfeld and J. K. Simmons.
The official festival programming runs through December 13th, but all films will be available until the 20th to watch on demand. Here’s the schedule:
