First Frame International Film Festival will be held live in Las Vegas, Nevada July 31st-August 1, 2021.
Every story begins with a single frame. In its inaugural year, First Frame International Film Festival (FFI), has a mission to award filmmakers and screenwriters with more than just another laurel and fancy statue. As most know, showbiz is about who you know and how lucky you are, based on the amount of talent that goes undiscovered. We want to share our contacts and resources with our winning filmmakers and screenwriters to help them succeed in this highly competitive industry.
Our winning film will walk away with a distribution deal. The best actor, actress, director, and writer are going to receive paid work and many other winners will get other unique prizes and consultations.
