Metro Streaming TV Festival

2025 NEWS FOR SEASON 8

We are gearing up for a FAN FILM FEST at our church's screening room in Grosse Pointe.
Filmmaker's, we'll likely have our first screening featuring fan-made Star Trek movies, with (your) Trailers and Shorts in between each one.

A ZERO-Entry-Fee for your Submissions will likely set up for you. IE: Maybe we'll have a small fee with WAIVERS available.

Admission to the Live-Event could be free, we haven't figured that out just yet. But of course it's a church so if attendee's would like to donate then that's always appreciated. The Church has Pizza and treats too for a super-reasonable price...I don't know the details -- that's all up to the church, and I don't make a cut or any money on the event.

Anyway, stay tuned for more news on this. Meanwhile, contact Facebook.com/DeanLach for more info.

Meanwhile, old blurb is below................................................................................................................

1.) A direct pathway to showcase your movie or TV-Show to a huge audience, including the film-industry. This will advance your career goals, and grow your professional network.

2.) A chance to Screen your Movie, TV-Program, Pilot/Webisode/Series, or Work in Progress. It's very Inexpensive and Trailers are FREE.

3.) STREAMING IS YOUR OPTION! Metro gives those who enter our Festival the OPTION for Streaming, Publicity and Promotion on our TV Channels and TV-Apps. See notes below for "streamers" if you are interested in having your (selected) content on our network.

Our TV-Apps are linked on: www.MoviesPlusTV.com

....

NOTE: Back in 2022 we added an important (OPTIONAL) distribution opportunity -- IF your film does well on one of our streaming platforms (Roku, or FireTV, or RlaxxTV/WhaleEco) then if you like we will submit it to our Broadcast partners where the exposure is to over 40 million "Antenna TV" viewers in 30 markets in the USA.

....

Our filmmakers have used Metro as a Launch-Pad for getting Distribution deals, here's one:

A SUCCESS STORY...
Alexander Pimentel, Director of "Down River" streamed his feature film on Metro's Connected TV Channel, "Movies Plus" on Amazon Fire TV. After 6 months and 70,000 downloads, Alex shared the news with a Venture capitalist who agreed to finance Alex's next feature film.

SCOPE OF THE FEST...

A content's Release Window(s) is not a determining factor for consideration in the Festival. Metro aims to encourage filmmakers, rather than looking for methods of exclusion.
