What started out as an idea and several years of thoughtful consideration finally became a reality. After attending several film festivals only to be disappointed by the audience turn out we asked ourselves “Wouldn’t it be great to have a film festival that allows audiences to consume films the way they want?” With the rise in technological advances streaming is no longer the future. Streaming is HERE! Audiences are looking for convenience to be able to stream music, movies, TV shows when and where they want. So an idea was born to create Framed Up Film Festival where we can provide talented filmmakers a platform a way to showcase their films to an online audience behind a secure registration gate complete with voting options for their audience.
