	Dear Programmers: We hope you are all having a fantastic summer! Just because The Film Collaborative rarely handles SHORTS doesn’t mean that they do not hold a special place in our hearts. Luckily, we can count on Roberta Marie Munroe, author of How Not to Make a Short Film: Secrets from a Sundance Programmer, and director of many shorts (including one below), to keep us in the know regarding all things SHORTS. Below please find some of her hand-picked selections. To screen or book any of the shorts below, please contact their RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS by clicking on the PINK email links in each film section. All best, Jeffrey Winter Co-Exectutive Director, The Film Collaborative
