Who We Are

Are you a local filmmaker with a story that deserves the spotlight? The Short Reign is a curated one-night film premiere showcasing short films from some of the most exciting emerging talent in the Chicagoland area—alongside original work by Aesir Productions.

We are currently accepting free submissions from local creators for this unique screening event. Whether your film is experimental, dramatic, comedic, or genre-bending—we’re looking for powerful, distinct voices that reflect the creative pulse of our city.
