Adrienne Unae presents the L2NB Film Festival, which showcases a shortlist of film shorts produced by budding filmmakers. Submissions for filmmakers over the age of 21 can be entered at https://www.adrienneunae.com/submissions/.
The event features screenings and live UMX Michael Jackson Experience (Joby Rogers) performance in New York City. Also, on the day, there will be a filmmaking workshop for emerging independent filmmakers moderated by booked and busy NYC independent filmmakers. It will be great to see your work.
Your film will be assessed by the Adrienne Unae N2LB panel, and submitted films will be viewed by me (as Director) personally. All of the movies that are chosen for screenings are automatically eligible for awards. Since a panel of industry professionals reviews all eligible films, your film will connect with filmmakers and industry professionals in ways you could not have imagined.
We’re excited to witness your creative endeavors and share in your life and movies. As such, the entry fee is only $8.
