What story can you tell with $0?
A different kind of film fest – the Shoe String Film Fest challenges its participants to submit films with a ZERO dollar budget!
Through limitation, creativity thrives.
Hosted on behalf of the Hudson Cultural Alliance, the fest pays tribute to the hardworking roots of the local shoe-manufacturing industry in Hudson, Massachusetts.

Connecting Communities Through Filmmaking
The goal of the Shoe String Film Fest is to shed light on the connective tissue of self-expression in Hudson and other communities nearby!
In a period when countless stories and perspectives get lost in the algorithm of Tiktok, Youtube, and other platforms, we would like to provide a chance to be seen and celebrated.
