  • The 100 Words Film Festival is an American event held annually in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 2014, it celebrates concise, cinematic storytelling — each film must contain exactly 100 spoken words, requiring filmmakers to focus on the essence of the story. The word limit is a part of the festival's goal to democratize filmmaking by making it financially achievable for nearly everyone. Called "the visual Twitter" of film festivals by former Saatchi & Saatchi global CEO Kevin Roberts, the festival draws entries from around the world as well as critical acclaim from regional media. "This idea really does force people to rethink the idea of film storytelling, something Hollywood virtually never does any more... Limits liberate the best of these filmmakers, rather than confining them," wrote Charlotte Observer theater critic and culture reporter Lawrence Toppman in November 2015. Filmmaker Scott Galloway, founder of Charlotte-based media production company Susie Films, is the festival's founder and director. (en)
