Home > New Voices Short Film Festival: Overview Producers Donors Contributors
New Voices was created to perform as a bridge between Hollywood and the Independent. Surrounded by all the major TV and film studios by taking place in Hollywood, this first annual, one night only film festival will be a place where people will be able to preview films they normally wouldn’t have the chance to be exposed to.
The collection of Italian films that are being shown were all previewed together at film festivals in Europe and were produced with budgets ranging between $500 to $30,000. Regardless of the monetary budget, each filmmaker has their own unique voice, that is captured in each of the films that will be shown.
These 7 films are of such substance that New Voices has declined to include an award for best film, as each film stands alone in its own light and merit. Instead, it will be a celebration of culture, film, and a night of cinematic liberation. Attendees purchasing tickets will enjoy wine, pizza, and the authenticity of an evening of Italian cinema.
New Voices Could Not Have Been Realized if it weren’t for the following incredibly generous Individuals who have given of themselves, their sweat, tears, ideas, fury, charm, and yes, money. Following is a list of those who have made the Festival possible.
Thank you one and all for your incredible support!
