GOOD NEWS:VPA Members and Sponsors Shine in CRAZY8S 2026!

Congratulations and a HUGE thank you to our VPA members and Sponsors who donated their time, talent and resources to this year’s Crazy8s Film Festival.

Running since 1999, CRAZY8S is an annual 8-day short filmmaking challenge that provides support and funding to 6 emerging and mid-career filmmakers to produce a short film and offers training opportunities to the crew and cast. After a Gala Screening and Afterparty, the films go on to be seen by audiences worldwide at film festivals and on other distribution channels.

This year, a record number of VPA members lent their support to the six films showcasing at the April 11th gala.
