Festival Information:
The Fylm TV Film Festival is built for filmmakers who want more than just a screening and praise. We’re hosting this in Detroit, bringing together indie filmmakers, creatives, and people who actually care about watching something new, story-driven and different.
You’ll be surrounded by other filmmakers who are trying to do the same thing as you. Show their work, get feedback, reach new opportunities, meet collaborators, and figure out what comes next.
We’re hosting a lineup of story-driven films across features, shorts, and pilot episodes. If your film has something to say and is ready to be seen, it belongs here. Then, when the festival ends, that does not have to be the end of your film. We will continue to provide support for monetizing your film and growing your audience with Fylm TV and its supportive film festival partnerships. Some films may continue their run beyond the event, giving them more chances to be seen after the festival is over.
If you are tired of your film getting one moment and then disappearing, this is for you.
Judging panel to be announced.
