Our Belief

Half the
time.
All the
feeling.

Short films are the most honest form of cinema. No padding, no filler — every frame earns its place. They are where directors take their greatest risks, where new voices speak loudest, and where the medium remembers what it's actually for.

50% Film exists to close the gap between exceptional short filmmaking and the audience it deserves. We curate with intention, platform with care, and believe that a 14-minute film can leave you just as changed as a two-hour one.

Every film we accept is listed on Letterboxd, published with full directorial credit, and treated as the serious work of art it is. We take submissions from anywhere, pay attention to everyone, and answer to nothing but quality.
