About Me
Coming from the Creative field with a background in several disciplines and segueing from corporate to education then back to Arts, Culture & Entertainment, we translated our Live Performance Nights combined with our Movie Nights info Hosting Film Festivals; many with Live Performances and Panels.
The last few years have been exciting, exhausting and rewarding as Filmmakers submit to any of our Themed Red Carpet Film Festivals, where many from around the country also attend.
We've added a Summer Movie Night schedule to re-Screen some of the Movies. Often we're contacted to Host Movie Nights for local Organizations & Community Leaders. All of this offers Filmmakers more opportunities to be 'Screened' and garner a larger following.
With so many actors around, last year we've added Murder Mystery Dinners to our offerings.
15 Film Festivals later, Distribution Platforms began contacting us and then we reached out to a few of the bigger Platforms and Distribution Companies and now we proud to announce that we offer both Non-Exclusive as well as Exclusive Deals.
Several Non-Exclusive Platforms offer Revenue share also and the year that the Short or Feature was made does not matter at all.
Students can Submit to any of our Film Festivals and/or contract us for Distribution Options where once you sign with us, we send you offers all year long and once you decide which Platforms you like, we submit on your behalf and include Marketing to direct traffic to the Platform.
Then your project also becomes eligible for the Platinum Streaming Awards Festival designed for Shorts, Features, Videos & Episodes only found on Streaming Platforms.
Film Festivals:
-February / April
-October
-June/July
-As Contracted by external Groups
-Distribution (all year long)
