Opportunity description

FilmFreeway is inviting filmmakers to take part in Panther City Film Festival (PCFF) competition. Our primary mission is to promote collaboration among filmmakers; and to call attention to the quality work produced within the independent film movement. For our part, we provide a platform for filmmakers to showcase and share their work. Attendees have the opportunity to participate in multiple panels scheduled throughout the festival. Aside from the formal screening and panel schedule, there are constant networking opportunities. We love seeing directors, actors, writers, and tech people make new connections. We also look for people whose skills we think might be complementary, and make the introductions.

Benefits

A panel of independent Judges will determine the category winners.
 The basic categories are as follows: 

  • Best "Domestic" Feature - For the purposes of this festival, a "domestic" film is produced in Texas. 
  • Best "Domestic" Short - Again, the film must be produced in Texas to be considered in the "domestic" category. 
  • Best "Foreign" Feature - This would be a film produced in any one of the 49 states that is not Texas, or any US Territory. 
  • Best "Foreign" Short - Same rule as above. Produced in the US, anywhere outside of Texas. 
  • Best International Feature - Any film produced outside of the US or any of it's territories. 
  • Best International Short - Same as above. 
  • Best Feature Screenplay 
  • Best Short Screenplay

Depending on the mix of films received, we will also award "best of" in the following categories: 

  • Drama 
  • Comedy 
  • Horror/Thriller 
  • Science Fiction 
  • Music Video/Musical Film

We reserve the right to adjust award categories as the season develops.
