Rancho Cucamonga, United States · Est. 2024 · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
100 Films Retreat is a quarterly short-film event in Rancho Cucamonga, California that focuses on very short works, with official selections typically under 15 minutes and an emphasis on live, in-person world premieres. It is notable for its limited-screening format, awards for ultra-short films and posters, and its positioning as a niche showcase for indie filmmakers and video creators rather than a traditional large-scale festival.[1][2][4]
