“Avast, me hearties!”
On May 30, 2026 at the Brimstone Museum Annex located at 923 South Ruth Street in Sulphur, LA, the Calcasieu Parish Short Film Festival returns for its ninth year! This year will feature an excellent selection of short films from all over the United States. Selections have been announced in the official schedule and are being individually listed on the festival’s Facebook page. The Facebook page is also where you can find out all of the other information about the event, including contact information and GPS coordinates to the event.
Along with the regular short film presentations throughout the day, the Filmsquatch Podcast will be presenting a special block of Bigfoot-themed short films including co-host Patrick Bennett’s own project Ta-Tai Maudit. The podcast’s other co-host, myself, will be presenting a panel about Bigfoot’s cinematic history. The festival will also feature a special One Hundredth Anniversary screening of “The Battling Kangaroo.”
Be sure to join me and everybody else at southwest Louisana’s first and best short film festival! There’s also still time to to enter the festival’s Forty-Eight Hour Film Sprint. Visit the festival Facebook page for more information! I hope that I get to see you there!
