Hello again, everyone! It's been quite some time since we saw most of you at last year's Nice Shorts Awards, but that's only because we have been in the midst of something grand.

Nice Shorts is about to set a much bigger stage for filmmakers and film buffs alike.

Late last year, the website was acquired by our friends at destra media and we're now in the process of redesigning the site with even more focus around the film community.

destra media has always focused on building strong online communities and maintaining a creative integrity that attracts artists from as many backgrounds as possible. With successful sites such as TheScene.com.au and MP3.com.au, Nice Shorts will become the haven for anyone interested in the world of film.

With many ideas being sketched out for a new version of the site, we are also looking for your input. If you have any ideas or suggestions please send an email to Aaron Roach, our new content manager, and he'll be more than happy to help you out.

Congratulations again to Stuart Moulds for winning Best Director and Best Film for Stalled. It was a much-deserved win and we are expecting more great things from the Melbourne-based filmmaker and his team over at Aquafruzzl. They have just completed a new doco and we wish them all the best.

More screenings, more live events, more interaction and of course, more films! So keep on sending us your work. We look forward to viewing them all.

Cheers,
Carlo, Aaron, and The Nice Shorts Team
