Love local stories and fresh film vibes? The NWA Screenwriters Collective is hosting a Short Film Spring Showcase, and it’s shaping up to be a really cool night for movie lovers. These aren’t your average big-budget flicks—these are indie shorts written by local screenwriters who turned their scripts into real, on-screen magic. It’s all happening at the Fayetteville Public Library, and you don’t need to be a filmmaker to enjoy it. Come for the stories, stay for the creativity (and maybe meet a few writers while you’re at it).

The Deets:
📍 Where: Fayetteville Public Library, 401 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville, AR 72701
📅 When: Thursday, May 29 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM CDT
💲 Cost: Tickets on sale at $25.00 (proceeds support future short films from the collective)
What’s Happening:
Expect a lineup of original indie short films, all crafted by members of the Northwest Arkansas Screenwriters Collective. These are real, local stories that went from page to screen—written, produced, and brought to life right here in NWA. It’s a great chance to support homegrown talent and mingle with the creative folks behind the scripts. Whether you’re into screenwriting, filmmaking, or just love a good story, this one’s worth showing up for. Plus, snacks and beverages are included when you get your ticket!
How to Stay in the Loop:
Want in? Grab your tickets now on Eventbrite before they’re gone—it’s your chance to catch some of NWA’s freshest indie films all in one night. And if you’re into storytelling, screenwriting, or just want to support local creatives, make sure to follow @nwascreenwriters on Facebook for updates, behind-the-scenes peeks, and future events worth showing up for.
Wrap It Up With a Nudge:
This is one of those nights where you get to say “I saw it before they made it big.” Come hang out, watch some films, and support the creative heartbeat of NWA. See you at the library!
