MMC Sponsors Festivals

Mini Movie Channel is a contributing sponsor to several festivals that are coming up this month. MMC is proud to be associated with them and recommends that you check them out. And if you have a film ready for festival exhibition by this time next year you should consider adding these to your festival submission schedule.

RHODE ISLAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL - August 5 - 10, 2008 in Providence, Rhode Island. This festival programs about 300 films, features and a lot of shorts. Certain short film winners qualify for a possible Oscar nomination.

LA SHORTS FEST - August 15- 21, 2008 - Los Angeles, CA. In their 12th year, LASF is in a new location this year in Hollywood. This fest programs hundreds of shorts and, again, certain festival winners also qualify for Oscar noms.

PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL SHORTFEST AND MARKET - August 21 - 27, 2008 - Palm Springs, CA. This is the premiere festival and market for short films. They have great programming plus seminars and workshops. It's also an Oscar qualifying festival. MMC will have a booth at the festival's marketplace and are also giving a named cash prize to one of the juried winners.

CENTRAL FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL - August 28 - 31, 2008 - Kissimmee, FL This is not a huge festival, but a nice one. They show both features and shorts.

In the big sea of festivals it's hard to sort and find the ones worthy of your attention, both as an audience and as a filmmaker. MMC is putting a spotlight on 4 for this month that are worthy of your attention. More to come….
