This festival is designed to help films get made. We bear the cost of all streaming programming, the trophy, plaque, medal, advertising of the festival, and onsite costs in our theater and property, complete with complimentary food and drink on the event nights, unlike many others in the fact that small shorts entered are driving towards selling their main - full-length film. Entries should be focused on getting funded (for example, $70 million needed) and, therefore, are requested to be slightly commercialized with financial projections, predicted market success, and their believed award-winning capabilities to prove their worth to angel funds, private family offices, corporate investors, and investment bankers. The USPSC International Film Festival is a deluxe festival organized in memory of Ronald Reagan and his spouse, Nancy Davis (renowned Hollywood actors), for their immense contribution to cinema, filmmaking, governance, and leadership. We also recognize and celebrate all of the films and series about the first families and White House stories - positive or negative. We focus on encouraging aspiring films to get funded and picked up as full-length feature productions by outside investors.
More information on our goals, board, trustees, and Ambassadors is at www.uspsc.org, with over 50 board, trustee, and ambassadorial members worldwide. Our alumni of the White House are close to 80,000, and our alumni, specifically from the White House Military Office, is about 50,000 military veterans of all services. We celebrate 250 years of service to protecting and serving the American Presidency and First Families. Our exhibits and summits recognize all of the Presidents of the United States under our goals, vision, and mission statements.
Our distinguished judges and panel will decide all winners, and a People's Choice Award will be given. See our judges and licensed competitions here: https://theinnofthepatriots.com/licensed-competitions
Some recent Q&A with our honest answers:
What's your link to the film industry? We are amateur film industry colleagues with family who are members of SAG AFTRA and have utilized SAG AFTRA for many contracts in the past. Charese Mongiello is a member of SAG and a very noted Script Supervisor of over 100 movies and projects. Martin Mongiello worked for Kathleen Kennedy as her Estate Manager, and Kathy is now the CEO of LucasFilm. Joe Manganiello is a distant cousin of Magic Mike fame and Spiderman; Prince Kojo-Hilton is a famed movie maker and set designer, and artist with works featured in the National Gallery of Art in Ghana. We have produced over 350 videos and shorts in 28 years' time, with about 100 featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, FOX, and CNN. We have been using film to showcase negative and positive acts and events of the Presidency of America. We welcome all kinds of shorts. We are an all-inclusive festival. Some of our work is featured here: https://mongielloassociates.com/movies-videos-streaming
Do you have a signed contract to broadcast? Yes, we have a signed legal contract with all legal rights via Linkedin, Streamyard, Hopin of England, associates rights to LIVE stream to YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and streaming licenses afforded to viewers. We hold no strikes via YouTube for infringement and own numerous intellectual properties with the Writers Guild of America East, the Library of Congress, and the US Patent and Trademark Office. We support the strikes held for our fellow writers, authors, and actors. All broadcasts on CBS, PBS, ABC, NBC, the TODAY Show, FOX, CNN, NHK Tokyo, Vitaya, and Brussels TV have occurred properly via broadcast licenses. Additionally, we have been featured in 164 newspapers and magazines on six continents.
Can I provide a cash prize in my name or foundation to the winners? You may personally work with our attorneys to place funds into an IOLTA or IOLA account which would be awarded in your name. We are not interested in making any money from the festival. Any surplus of money from entry fees will be given as a cash bonus to winners. At present, we are offering a gold chalice, silver medal, and bronze plaque along with provisions of cash to facilitate such awards overseas, in any country.
I was looking for cash prizes of $10k to $200k. Thank you for your feedback, we are not offering large cash sums like what you mention, but perhaps, other festivals are? As a small group of filmmakers honing and honoring our craft, we are proud to represent 205 countries and territories people's that live in America with all kinds of customs, languages spoken, heritage, and religions. The United States Presidential Service Center welcomes all filmmakers in fellowship, kindness, and friendliness. Our hallmark has always been the act of caring.
