Skyway Film Festival is a new storytellers festival taken place in beautiful Bradenton, FL. It will showcase the craft of filmmaking by advocating the work of filmmakers, screenwriters and all artists who use the medium of film and television to bring art alive.
The festival will emphasize "new" artists as they bring their works to the big screen. Film screenings will be accompanied by numerous networking opportunities and attended by independent film enthusiasts. All submitted films will receive notes on their works from the Skyway Programming team whether accepted or rejected.
The organizers of Skyway have programmed for other festivals that have been mentioned as "Top Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee" by Movie Maker Magazine. The Skyway team looks to capitalize on industry relationships to make it a must-attend fest! The premiere entertainment communication and marketing firm PMK*BNC has partnered with Skyway to bring their breadth of contacts and assets to the festival.
