Joce Capper, Rushes' Managing Director, said: "This year's festival has been a great success and I hope those who attended the screenings have enjoyed the festival as much as we have. The wealth of talent and creativity both from established short filmmakers and newcomers is truly outstanding – and something that we should all be very proud of. Without the support of our sponsors, venues and filmmakers the festival couldn't be the huge success that it has become over the last three years. Most of all - it's the enthusiasm of the general public who turn up in droves to watch and enjoy the shorts - which is what it's all about. A week of entertainment!"
