THE STEPPING STONE FILM FESTIVAL - Details
MISSION & OBJECTIVE
Are films your thing? Then DO something about it.™
The Stepping Stone Film Festival aims to be a showcase for emerging independent filmmaking talent from around the world. A strong focus on recognizing and rewarding outstanding narratives and excellent production values in low/no-budget films will aim to encourage aspiring filmmakers to take up the craft.
An India-centric section, 'India Calling', will focus on feature films and shorts of Indian origin and in Indian languages, in order to give a much-need shot in the arm to independent filmmaking in India.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Cash prizes and Awards will be presented to winners chosen by audience votes and by a special jury.
The Stepping Stone Film Festival is a venture of Wannabe Studios, an online social network for independent filmmakers and aspirants from around the world, founded with a mission to make truly border-less collaboration possible in making commercially viable films without the big stars and the big budgets. The festival will be a day-long event held on 13 December every year, to coincide with "Independent's Day", the anniversary of the founding of the Wannabe Studios online network.
Members of the Wannabe Studios network are eligible for a full waiver of submission fees. Logo on to http://www.wannabestudios.org to request a waiver code.
All the best! We look forward to receiving your submission. For any queries or clarifications, please contact us at the following email address:
