YOUR NEW FILM:
In a world of film reboots, remakes, prequels and sequels, originality is getting lost. In its second year running, the Original Film Festival is looking for new stories and ideas to bring together and help celebrate originality.

Created by a fellow professional film-maker and animator to spark creativity and discussion amongst the community, your work will be awarded based on its story, sound, visuals and overall impact.

GET ACCEPTED:
Entries can be accepted into the festival to receive winning laurels that can be included in all your future promotional material. In addition, your work will be tweeted out to a fresh and eager crowd of twitter followers.

Please note this is an online film festival with no public screenings. Your work may be mentioned, but will NOT be uploaded for public or private screenings, giving YOU control over whether your work is published online or not. If you have already uploaded your film or trailers, please attach links if you would like these to be shared through social media. Prizes and feedback are digital.
