Welcome to Take Flight Film Festival
The Take Flight Film Festival is a new aged festival that allows the winning productions to be aired nationwide on the SGA TV Network. Built around the content of the independent artist exclusively, the SGA TV Network supports indie filmmakers like no major network has before as they debut The Take Flight Film Festival. The festival is specially tailored for the independent filmmaker trying to go mainstream. As an independent creator, having the proper platform is as important as the quality of the work itself. With winners having the chance to be seen across multiple platforms nationwide, the possibilities are limitless when it comes to what can happen next, but you’ll never know unless you Take Flight.
With the past year like we’ve had, we have no doubt some stories will reflect every bit of the pain, frustration, and worldwide disconnect that was experienced. With the world just now really beginning to pick back up in some parts, many independent filmmakers have been sitting on some amazing ideas and projects. Now is the time to share them and the Take Flight Film Festival is the place to do so.
The festival will accept short films, documentaries, talk shows, series, animations, and full feature films from all genres including drama, comedy, horror, and action to name a few. The Take Flight Film Festival aims to provide indie filmmakers with quality projects the opportunity to get the nationwide exposure their work demands. Accepting projects from April 15, 2021, until July 10, 2021. Don’t miss out on your chance to get your work to the next level.
