WIN FUNDING TO MAKE YOUR SHORT FILM INTO A FEATURE & ONE YEAR MARKETING, SALES & DISTRIBUTION.
GET YOUR FILM IN FRONT OF REAL INVESTORS.
That Film Festival is supporting new and emerging talent in the film industry by providing exposure to investors, experts and a life changing prize with funding to make a short into a feature plus a year marketing, sales & distribution. There is great talent continually coming through in the film industry.
Getting the right support, exposure, and even funding for their ideas can, for some, seem like an impossibility. Some of the best filmmakers have given up their dreams to take up uninspiring jobs just to make ends meet.
We here at That Film Festival do not want to let this talent go to waste anymore.
Our Mission:
To give new filmmakers a platform to access those whom could help turn their dreams and visions into reality.
How?
We will be holding a number of showcases throughout the year including Cannes, London, Marbella and Berlin, playing the best short films which are submitted to us, plus hosting networking opportunities at each event. The winner of these showcases, as voted by active film investors and film professionals will WIN funding up to £1million to make their short film into a feature, including 1 year marketing, sales and distribution.
We are literally putting talent in front of investors, marketing directors, sales and distribution professionals.
