CenCal Fin Lit Film Festival

April is Financial Literacy month!

We want to use our family-friendly platform to break the stigma of talking about money.

We use bite-size content to start financial conversations that every family should be having.

Do you know the rules of money?

Do you know how money works?

Our films are created by amateurs and professionals who have a story with a financial element to it.

Does your photograph, script, animation, or film have a "money" element to it?

We want to see it!

This is a really fun community event hosted by Mr. Marcus T. Bovee II, CEO of film distribution company Impact Releasing and VetFlicks.

What is the Financial Literacy Film Festival?

Our event gathers actors and filmmakers from the local community, to create a series of EDUtainment (Education + Entertainment) short films.

Influencers, Filmmakers, Writers, Actors, Directors, Cinematographers and more, have joined our very important global movement to tell creative stories, which aim to help people become more financially literate.

Our film festival also educates people about Set Safety with the "Safety for Sarah" program and we bring awareness to the Anti-Recidivism Movement. If people learn how to legally earn income, they will most likely commit less crimes for financial gain. Help us build a better future for all of our communities.

Our Goal:
Financial Literacy information for all people.

Our Mission:
Break the stigma of talking about money.

    The promised opportunities repeatedly fail to materialize, it naturally raises questions about the reliability of the organization and the authenticity of the industry connections being promoted. From a participant's perspective, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between genuine professional opportunities and marketing claims used to attract submissions.

    If KP was responsible for arranging the interview, that information should have been communicated clearly in advance. It is difficult to understand why the responsibility for an unannounced scheduling process is now being shifted onto the award recipient-This happened today 01.06.26. I do not recommend them.

    I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story on this platform and to further my initiative raising awareness about water scarcity and its impact on women’s health and children’s education. I am honored that my short documentary Paani received an award here—this recognition is incredibly encouraging and motivates me to continue this work. Best, Akshita Vashisht
