EXPOSURE/ACCESS TO PRESS, FILM BUYERS, INVESTORS + DISTRIBUTORS RUN BY FORMER DISNEY CHANNELS MARKETING MASTER ADRIAN PEREZ /// FESTIVAL DYNAMIC Our festival has a high affinity, a lot of fandom! We are that quirky festival where the entire audience howls in the auditorium(!!), we are a big wolfpack family, this is a very animated film festival, it's very fun, it has a very Comic-Con-esque experience to it! We've actually managed to transport that highly-energised community festival successfully into this new pandemic era, we're running 4 quarterly competition rounds/virtual festival programmes, they've been enjoying a great mediatic exposure due to their big paid media budgets. Online film contests can be very satisfying because you get seen/+get your recognition quick without having to wait an excruciatingly long time, Lonely Wolf in this new frontier was built on that, but we're next level, and we work at lighting speed in turning out big virtual film programmes every 3 months (like a film journal!) with access to press/film buyers/investors and distributors alike. WATCH DEMO = https://www.lonelywolffilmfest.com/why-lonely-wolf.html /// FESTIVAL PHILOSOPHY We're always looking for film projects that correspond with the festival’s philosophy and core thematics of being a “Lonely Wolf” (the outcasts/society’s outsiders), not just in terms of narrative/subject matter, but also in terms of film style, pushing for innovation/experimentalism/originality. This philosophy translates into how community-driven the festival is also, we came into being with our heart in the right place, with the important mandate to bring our creative “wolfpack” community together in a time of crisis and consistently host the most interactive of virtual film festivals to put dormant/dead-end online contests around us to shame! We’re the Resistance!! We’ve worked hard to amass the wonderful reputation we have, check what your filmmaker peers have had to say about their experience with us below. /// FESTIVAL RANKING / SELECTION PROCESS We're part-online competition with the top 250 films ranked in finalist division rounds, and part-virtual film festival with 50-80 films selected by our jury to enjoy grand exposure as part of our curated programmes within our multi-DRM encrypted virtual cinema.
