About
The Broad St. Film Fest is a gathering of storytellers and audiences seeking new adventures, experiences, and perspectives. Nightmare on Broad St. is our sub film festival that is focused on horror, sci-fi, and out of the norm genres. Our program ranges from high school, college, and professional submissions. Awarding the hard work and dedication of our film community we will be awarding two monetary awards. One for best student film and one for best overall film by a non-professional. This festival is free admission and will contain a showing of all the nominated films in each of the categories. The BSFF Team created this festival in efforts to help the City of Sugar Hill continue transforming into a hub for art, culture and entertainment.

Micro
A micro-short film is a type of film that typically lasts no longer than a few minutes, usually less than 5 minutes with credits. It is a very short film that aims to tell a complete story or convey an idea in a very condensed format. Due to its brevity, micro-short films often require creative storytelling techniques to effectively convey their message.
Short
A short film is a type of film that is shorter in length than a typical feature film. Generally, a short film is considered to be a film with a runtime of less than 30 minutes. Short films can be made in various genres and styles, such as comedy, drama, documentary, experimental, and animation. Due to their length, short films often focus on a single idea or theme, and rely on strong visual storytelling to convey their message.
Animation
An animation short film is a type of short film that uses various techniques to create the illusion of movement and bring characters and objects to life. These techniques can include traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop-motion, and others. Animation short films can be made in various styles, such as 2D, 3D, and mixed-media, and can cover a wide range of genres, from comedy to drama to fantasy. Due to their flexibility and limitless possibilities, animation short films are popular among filmmakers, and are often used to convey complex ideas and emotions in a visually stunning way.
