BETJ: The Best Shorts Season 3

About Me

The most FUN, MEANINGFUL & MOVING 2 hours on TV!!!
THE BEST SHORTS on national cable network BET-J (formerly BET Jazz) provides YOU with the best in Drama, Comedy, Horror, Suspense and more from Black independent filmmakers. SHORT FILMS tell stories in a way no other medium can. Short Films have been and continue to be the purest form of filmmaking, as experienced and inexperienced filmmakers find unique ways to express their vision. THE BEST SHORTS is a unique opportunity to catch the best and brightest emerging filmmakers telling their stories, their way-- the African American experience told through film! Sundays at 2:00pm and 8:00, Tuesdays at 8:00pm & 1:00am and Wednesdays at 12:00am. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RALPH SCOTT, The Best Shorts' EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, is the Co-Founder and Program Director of Black Hollywood Education and Resource Center; and has also partnered with Chris Cathcart to develop "Visual AIDS - A cinematic look at the HIV/AIDS epidemic". Ralph has been promoting well-made independent African American made films for more than 14 years. He now lends his eye and expertise to the producing of The Best Shorts.

I'd like to meet:

CALLING SHORT FILMMAKERS!!!!!!

I am reaching out to filmmakers with the hopes that you will invent the possibility of submitting your short film for our new program that runs on BET J. It is called “The Best Shorts…” I think this is something we've ALL been waiting for... an “alternative” Black cable outlet with an independent and "Neo/Soul" groove. We are opening up an outlet for Black filmmakers to showcase their work in a consistent format.

All inquiries should be submitted to [email protected]

Good Luck!!
