Finalist projects – Short Film Fund 2026

We are excited to eventually announce the finalists of our Short Film Fund.

The quality of this year’s submissions was significantly higher than the previous one, so it was particularly challenging to pick our top 6 and we had to make some tough choices.

After many reads, here are our finalists:

  • Bottom Feeder (screenplay), written by Ethan Manuel Homen
  • Margate (screenplay), written by Laine Slater
  • Muezza (screenplay), written by Khadija Khan
  • Intertidal (rough cut), written and directed by James Morgan
  • No One Took Her Seriously And Now They’re All Dead (screenplay), written by Brandon Mercer
  • The Long Way Home (screenplay), written by Shiv Raj

Thank you so much to everyone who shared their wonderful work with us. It was both exciting and refreshing to read and watch so many interesting stories.

The jury is currently reviewing the projects and we hope to be able to announce the winners by the end of the month.
