In 2017, we created Road7films as an outlet for up-and-coming filmmakers. Three years later, Road7films has become a key player in the promotion of creations from unknown and underrepresented filmmakers, with two yearly international film festivals here in Central Florida. For 2020, the company is taking it a step further by creating Frame60, a video-on-demand service for those who want to distribute their films online to a wider audience while keeping their focus on the creative process. We’re excited to be partnering with FilmFreeway and BingeWave to create Frame60 Film Showcase. By having their films officially selected for the Festival, filmmakers will have a unique opportunity to generate incentives during a period of 3 months. We know that this year has been especially hard on the indie film industry, and we want to join forces with independent filmmakers to make their journey more successful.
How It Works
Each Official Selection will be streamed on our VOD platform for a period of 3 months prior to the award ceremony. The audience will be able to vote for their favorite films & leave comments. Following the event, we will we work directly with some of the winners on long-term distribution opportunities. Award Winners get a free pass for the 2021 Central Florida Cinefest.
Q&A
- How do I submit my film?
o We require filmmakers to submit their films via FilmFreeway; once the selection is made, we will contact filmmakers if additional assets are needed. We strongly encourage trailers, press kits or any other promotional material.
- What lengths of films are accepted?
o We accept feature films, feature documentaries and short films between 20 and 40 minutes in length.
- How does my film get promoted?
o Film promotion is done by the filmmaker and Road7films. The filmmaker knows this process better than anyone else. While we will do our best to promote the films via our different social media channels, we strongly encourage filmmakers to direct their audience to the screening page.
- Can you block my film for certain countries?
o Yes, we can use geo-blocking to turn off your film for certain regions.
- How long the film will stay on the platform?
o Film will stay on the platform for 3 months from the Official Selections announcement.
- Ho much filmmakers receive form ticket sales?
o Every filmmaker receives 40% of each ticket sold for their respective submission. Road7films will invite each official selected film to register for payment 2 days after the official selections announcement. Payment will be processed within 10 days after the award ceremony.
All officially selected films will be able to collect incentives based on ticket sales.
