ORIGINAL POST
It’s almost time for The 26th Annual Philadelphia Film Festival (Oct 19-29th) but this year, for the first time, I’m gonna also cover a bit of The 20th FIRSTGLANCE Film Festival (Oct 6-8, 2017).

FirstGlance is a bi-coastal film festival which takes place in LA and Philly. It’s been named 5 times as one of the “Best Film Festival Investments” and “50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee” by Movie Maker Magazine

Celebrating 20 years – the weekend event includes red carpet happy hour with press and filmmaker interviews, opening night screening presented by Sharon Pinkenson, Executive Director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office (click for T&T pics from #GPFONext party).

Unique screening programs, indie film expo, networking with filmmakers, after parties with cast and crew, beer and wine bar, filmmaker brunch, and for the first time, a live awards ceremony.

In addition to what is screening at the festival, over 40 short films will take part in a 4 week Short Online Contest with over $2500 in prizes beginning October 9th with an opportunity to premiere at FirstGlance Los Angeles in Spring 2018.
