In cooperation with The Franklin Institute, FirstGlance Film Fests, will be launching a “truly indie” film series in Philadelphia. Beginning April 17th with the assistance of the Franklin Theater, a beautiful 260 seat state of the art screening facility in The Franklin Institute, will be offering filmmakers the opportunity to be a part of a visionary new screening program. FirstGlance will be curating a series of “truly indie” films with filmmakers looking for an alternate screening venue in Philadelphia.
What makes this series different from other screening series:
- Filmmakers don’t pay four walling fees, or rent the theater.
- FirstGlance and The Franklin Institute will offer the theater to filmmakers on a revenue share, based on ticket price and sales through the filmmaker’s fanbase and local following.
- Advanced ticket sales driven by the filmmakers marketing and promotions, as well as the FirstGlance Films and Franklin Institute newsletters will assist in the promotion of the film.
We will book a limited number of films in 2010, as a pilot program.
We are looking for feature films with a large social networking fan base and those that have a Philadelphia following that can help promote the film and boost ticket sales.
The filmmaker will profit from the ticket sales dependent on amount of tickets sold and the revenue share percentage which will be determined by the agreement.
We think this is a great opportunity to be seen in a large venue in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, without having to pay exorbitant fees to rent a theater space.
We look forward to offering features, documentaries and short programs throughout the year.
If you have a film that you would like to screen, please get in touch and we will get back to you with further details.
We are launching the series on April 17-18th with a Pennsylvania area feature documentary, Takedowns and Falls, about the high school wrestling phenomenon in Eastern Pennsylvania. We look forward to a great weekend for the filmmaker, and hope his success will enable us to present more “truly indie” feature films to the community! Support Indie filmmaking and we’ll be able to support you!
After a successful inaugural weekend, we are currently searching for more indie films with strong social network followings and fan base!
We are looking for documentarys and narrative features to program in
June, Sept, October, November, December 2010.
Get your film see at a state of the art 250 seat theater and make money!
Thank you
FirstGlance Film Fests
