People melt at “LITTLE TERRORS” this month!

Our long-running short film festival LITTLE TERRORS returns this month, on Tuesday, March 26th! The line-up includes nine diverse genre shorts, including work from the prolific Izzy Lee, twisted local stop-motion animator Adam Ciolfi, and the intensely-disturbing French short ACIDE, where the rain literally makes people melt.
