Mission & Objective:
The mission of Sci-Fest Film is to provide a platform for our fellow Sci-Fi filmmakers and screenwriters to showcase their work while also creating a year round learning environment full of workshops, discussion panels, and mentorships. We hope to increase interest in Sci-Fi film/tv, teach others about film, and bring together a stronger community and love for this field and genre.
About the Festival:
Sci-Fest is a 1-day event mixed of submitted and judged films. There will be workshops, panels, and other special events. Also, a filmmakers/screenwriters meet&greet. A convivial networking opportunity with fellow filmmakers and the industry.
