About us
It is incredible how one small idea can grow into something truly special. Equs Short Film Foundation is an independent and passionate initiative that believes in the impact of short films. We support emerging filmmakers and meaningful stories that deserve to be seen. With limited resources but a lot of drive, we help bring creative ideas to life — one short film at a time.
