Seed & Spark Festival Survival pledge
For those filmmakers who have already submitted films and are on the festival circuit, we have chosen to take the Seed & Spark Festival Survival pledge. Our festival along with hundreds of others across the world are adapting the rules for this year’s event. Any film screened through a ticketed virtual film festival in 2020 will still be eligible.
Simply put, we understand there are enough challenges to getting films made and then getting a film festival to consider them, so if we can help even a little bit by removing other obstacles to having a filmmaker’s films considered by as many film festivals as possible, then we are happy to do that.

Connecting people through stories
that matter.
