A lot of festivals can be narrow in their film selection as well and advertise they are looking for one type of movie but have a preference for another genre all together. A festival should be a chance to discover a movie that does not have movie stars but maybe offer a glimpse at future movie stars and directors. We also keep the films from past festivals to screen at other screenings and keep in touch with the filmmakers.ĭo you think that some films really don’t get a fair shake from film festivals? And if so, why?Ī few festivals have turned into Hollywood promotion events and certain movies are selected before they are even finished. Short films are better for programming, but we do screen features. We are drawn to movies that have distinct voices and are something you normally don’t see. We like a certain level of quality, but realize your movie may not be “Hollywood” standards. What are the qualifications for the selected films? We also have live entertainment and food at each event as part of the ticket price.
We make certain to invite the press and give their film attention and encourage them to talk to the audience about their work and future goals. What would you expect to experience if you attend the festival this year (2017)?įilmmakers are treated like royalty. Being filmmakers ourselves, we are geared toward helping other filmmakers reach an audience. Michaels: Prelude2Cinema presents… has given filmmakers more exposure and with a future chance for funding and distribution, we hope to establish ourselves as a film market/ film festival. Matthew Toffolo:What is your Film Festival succeeding at doing for filmmakers?Īlex P. By the end of the year, Prelude2Cinema presents… looks forward to offering funding for filmmakers. We have had musicians, magicians and filmmakers interacting with the audience. The other thing that makes the event different is that there is live entertainment and food served at each event. In August 2017, the festival will relaunch with at least four events per year. After four events, the festival decided a change of venue and a chance to regroup. The goal was not just to screen movies from all over the world, but offer filmmakers a chance at distribution from the company. The festival began as a monthly event created by Prelude2Cinema, a movie and marketing company.
