In the Spotlight today is the 14th Annual FirstGlance Film Festival Los Angeles, an exciting potential career-enhancer for professional, first-time, and student filmmakers from every corner of the globe. Whether championing studio-produced cinema or some of the best independent projects on the festival circuit, FirstGlance offers just the sort of fantastic venues and enthused audiences every filmmaker loves. Since the festival benefits from a strong record of securing theatrical and Video On Demand (VOD) distribution for its celebrated features and shorts, the sky is the limit for any talented filmmaker who earns distinction at FirstGlance.
This year, the festival is rewarding every last one of its entrants with more than $125 USD in perks. Additionally, each Official Selection at FirstGlance receives a complimentary All Access Pass and perks valued at $100. In the past seven years, more than 90% of features selected for screenings at FirstGlance have gone on to secure distribution through cinemas, cable, Pay-Per-View, or VOD. The project honored by the festival's Best of Fest Feature Film recognition earns an opportunity for VOD distribution to 100 million homes nationwide.
With all of these opportunities for visibility and success, it's little wonder why MovieMaker magazine has placed FirstGlance among its list of "25 Best Film Festival Investments" on four separate occasions. Time magazine agrees, touting FirstGlance as a unique "festival for the rest of us."
UPCOMING DEADLINE
November 14, 2013 - Late Deadline
MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
FirstGlance is a casual, competitive event for professional, first-time, and student filmmakers from across the globe.
