Dear filmmakers friends do not miss these festivals in focus. The next Blast is September 19th with more festivals to watch
This will mark the 10th year anniversary of the festival ranked one of the top 25 film festivals in the World by Movie Maker Magazine, and touted by many as one of the most important independent film festivals in the festival circuit.
We are open to all genres, and believe in the independent spirit of film . MBIFF also has a budget category, so a film with a 10 thousand dollar budget does not compete against a project with a 10 million dollar budget (with the exception of the overall winner).
We have selected what we feel to be the most diverse panel in the film festival circuit. From professionals to film makers, liberals to conservatives. If a panel member has a problem with the content it will be placed with a panel member that does not find a problem with content. We are looking for projects that have, a vision, a story, and are done with passion.
The MBIFF screens projects in a multi-million dollar theater, housing state of the art technology.
This year's film festival will be like no other, even if you are not a film maker plan to attend. We have been quoted as the best or one of the best festivals ever attended by films makers around the globe.
We are passionate about film and it shows! Submit by January 10th 2015
