The Short Term 12 Project Intro

Подробнее о видео

With the support of Heart Gallery of America, we're honored to launch the Short Term 12 Project, a national art initiative that explores the themes in SHORT TERM 12 through the creative work of fans and supporters.

The film is about forgiveness, rebirth, and the many shapes that family, home, and love can take. We aim to illustrate the diversity of these common human experiences through the transformative power of art. All of the characters in the film use various forms of art to express themselves when words just aren't enough: Grace draws, Mason cooks, Jayden writes stories, and Marcus makes music.

In this spirit, we invite you to create and share with us your drawings, paintings, photographs, videos, poems, short stories, or other creative expressions, based on some of the themes of SHORT TERM 12. To start, we'd like to explore a topic at the heart of the film: Home. However you choose to interpret "Home" is entirely up to you—we welcome different perspectives and outside-of-the-box ideas!

Any and all who wish to contribute to the Short Term 12 Project are encouraged to submit. Our hope is that this online exhibition will become a sustainable forum for thoughtful discussion and positive support. We look forward to seeing your work.
