Last month, Stage 32, the world’s largest online platform for connecting and educating film, TV and new media creatives and professionals announced Stage 32 Screenings, a new platform intended to highlight filmmakers and screen films impacted by the cancellation or postponement of film festivals around the world to their network of thousands of executives and professionals.
Today, Stage 32 announced that they will begin screenings of over 60 films including the Zeiss Cinematography and Final Draft Screenwriting Award winners from SXSW on Tuesday April 21st, exclusively at the link above.
The goal of Stage 32 Screenings is to grant the displaced filmmakers screenings with a global audience of decision makers that can help further their careers and find sales and distribution solutions for their films. Stage 32 has invited thousands of professionals including sales agents, distributors, financiers, managers, agents, and other development executives who have worked with the company over the last 9 years to the platform. Interest has been high with many buyers and distributors requesting to be connected to the filmmakers immediately.
Filmmakers can choose whether to screen publicly to Stage 32's global community of over 600,000 members and professionals worldwide or privately just to the professionals vetted by Stage 32. Screening privately will not affect a filmmaker's screening eligibility for other festivals and there is no fee to participate.
