CrowdPicks Film Fest: Oakville is Oakville's premier audience-voted film festival. We are committed to creating an affordable and accessible film festival for young filmmakers, while also promoting networking opportunities with industry professionals.
We provide a spotlight for emerging filmmakers to showcase their work in front of an audience and gain valuable exposure in the industry.
This is the perfect festival to submit your film school assignments, personal projects, or any film that you want the world to see!
The festival on April 7th will run from 7 PM - 10 PM during which, the mini films will be screened, followed by the short films. After each section, will be a short Q&A with the directors on stage as well as time for the audience to vote via QR code on their favourite films. To conclude, there will be a brief award ceremony to present the winners of each respective category.
There will be time before and after the event for the filmmakers to mingle and talk to build valuable relationships within the industry.
