The Clearwater Film Festival, set to debut September 29 - October 3, 2010, seeks panelists to join us for a celebration of film. 

The Clearwater Film Festival is a platform built to showcase seasoned filmmakers and emerging artists who demonstrate the synergy of the actor, writer and director. When great talents work harmoniously the results may be beautiful, questionable or even shocking. When the talents of the actor, writer and director belong to the same person, the triple-threat filmmaker, those results are often extraordinary. It is here that we applaud those efforts. 

Quality film submissions of any length are welcome from all genres worldwide. You need not be a "triple-threat filmmaker" to participate, just show us what great teamwork can do, and bring your vision. 

Actors, Writers and Directors who wish to participate as panelists and are willing to share their filmmaking experiences should call or send a confidential email. Clearwater Florida has gorgeous weather in late September and our panelists will enjoy all the benefits of being a VIP. 

We also seek a feature film to showcase with World Premiere status for our opening night gala. We intend our Premiere Film Event to take place in one of the only theaters in Florida that seats over 2,000 people. All genres will be considered. 

While our festival is based in Florida we are focused on an international appeal and encourage filmmakers and film commissions from all locales to come and promote their region.  If you have a feature film that may help promote your region and would like the opportunity to have a specific forum please let us know.  Besides showing great films we will hold educational panels and are seeking sponsors to host them.  We expect 4,000 - 8,000 people here our first year and this may be a brilliant opportunity to encourage filmmaking in your area.

The festival will have 5 venues and accommodate up to 29,000 people.
