A collection of short films in contention for official selection, nomination as Quarterfinalist for both genre and technical categories. Audience Choice balloting is open. Your vote counts!

A desperate, misunderstood man approaches a little girl selling cookies on the street; oblivious to danger and urged by her mother to come inside, the child insists on finishing her cookie hustle; a fearless act that unexpectedly saves the man's life. Imposter syndrome is learned, not innate; children act with fearless confidence because they haven't yet been taught to doubt themselves.
