Congratulations to our #FilmSlam alumni screening at Central Florida Film Festival this weekend! #CENFLO (fb)

Happy New Year, #FilmSlam folx! We have good news and some not-so-good news. First, the NOT-SO-GOOD news: Due to unforeseen circumstances at OMA, our January 2024 program has been canceled. This is absolutely not how we wanted to start a new year, especially this year, but there's more 2024 dates and news to come. Second, the GOOD news: Even though it's not 'calendar official' until April, FilmSlam is turning TWENTY YEARS OLD in 2024! That's 20 years of screening the works of local, independent #filmmakers! 🙌 Since opening our 2024 portal on Film Freeway on January 1st, submissions have nearly doubled ALREADY and we couldn't be more grateful. Thanks to YOU, we have no shortage of films to screen and we can't wait to share them with all of you! THANK YOU to all the writers, directors, actors, and producers, who have submitted their work for screening consideration over the last 20 years, and were kind enough to join our past and present hosts on stage to share your stories and thoughts. THANK YOU to all the crews behind of and in front of the camera, friends, families, companies, co-workers, elected officials, loyal audience members (longitme and new), and curious folx who just wandered in on a FilmSlam screening one Sunday afternoon. We've said it a lot over the years; without our filmmakers, there is no FilmSlam -- and that's as true today as it was 20 years ago. 🎬🖤❤️ (fb)
