Zero To Hero
Film Festival

Celebrating the passion and talent of low-budget filmmakers worldwide.

Festival Atmosphere

A Festival for Storytellers

Where creativity meets opportunity. No big budgets required, just big ideas.

The Mission

The Zero To Hero Short Film Festival was founded with a single mission: to showcase innovative low-budget short films that might otherwise be overlooked.

We believe that a lack of funds should never be a barrier to entry. Talent, passion, and a good story are all you need to be a hero in our eyes.

The Founders

The festival is proudly organized by three passionate filmmakers who understand the struggle of independent cinema:

  • 🎬 Josef Cauchi
  • 🎬 Bernard Cachia
  • 🎬 Clifford Xuereb

Why Submit?

"A trophy is awarded to EACH winner in any of the categories. We believe that filmmakers should be recognized with an actual trophy and not just laurels or certificates."
