NEW PALTZ SHORTS was established in 2018 by filmmakers Allyson Ferrara and Danny Mark Asis as a creative outlet for local filmmakers to showcase their short films with the aims of building community and sharing art.

​

The first New Paltz Shorts Film Festival was hosted by the wonderful Water Street Market at their outdoor summer series as "A Night of New Paltz Shorts" presented at the Water Street Cinema.

​

New Paltz Shorts is grateful to all the filmmakers who submitted work, all the local New Paltz businesses who contributed or donated to the event, to Water Street Market for hosting, and to all of the amazing people who showed up to the event to make the first New Paltz Shorts Film Festival a roaring success!

​

Stay tuned for future events and screenings we intend to throw!

​

​

Sincerely,

Allyson Ferrara

chairman and founder of NEW PALTZ SHORTS
