The Milwaukee Short Film Festival originated in 1996 as the Milwaukee Film/Video Festival on Public Access where it ran for three years. In 1999 Ross Bigley took a break to concentrate on various filmmaking projects, but in 2002 he began work to bring back the festival in a big way. Starting in 2003 it moved to coffee shops and did two festivals that year. Attendance and submissions grew forcing us to find another venue and since 2004 we've called the Times Cinema home.
Ross Bigley began doing a series of short films helping local actors and talent gain more experience and exposure in filmmaking. The following are selected films from that first wave of films completed this past season.
