This panel took place in-person at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival: CDMX in Mexico City.

A mix of filmmakers with shorts in the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and prior festival alumni take us through the filmmaking journeys of their shorts, from idea to execution, outlining challenges and rewards, how they found their creative collaborators, and the opportunities of working within the short form.

• Jazmin Garcis (Trokas Duras)
