With 15 years under his belt as director of the annual locally based Short. Sweet. Film Fest., Michael Suglio finally had the chance to expand last year. By chance, he met up with a college friend from Case Western who landed in New York and worked at a brewery. Upon visiting the brewery, Suglio had an epiphany.

A very sweet film festival is making its way to Atlas Cinemas in Shaker Square next week.

For the past 15 years, the Short.Sweet.Film Fest has been a weekend-long affair. But this year, organizer Michael Suglio decided it was time to expand. The annual event will now take place over an entire week; it runs from Feb. 24 to March 2 at Atlas Cinemas Shaker Square.
