Our goal is to give more opportunities for independent filmmakers and screenwriters to showcase and promote their art.

HOWEVER, we are susceptible to country, state and local laws, which enforce specific, gathering guidelines. To that end, circumstances beyond our control include venue policy and protocol, and insurance limitations.
