One of our goals at Stories for Change is to give digital storytellers an outlet for sharing their work in a meaningful way. In that spirit, we would like to share a great festival submission opportunity: The Eighth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival.
Submit Your Film to The Eighth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival
Arts Engine's Media That Matters Film Festival is the premiere showcase for short films with big messages. Following a New York City Premiere, Awards Ceremony and Outreach Workshop in June 2008, your film will take part in an international, multi-platform distribution campaign -- DVD, broadcast, streaming and hundreds of community screenings. Hundreds of thousands of people will see the Media That Matters collection, including educators, activists and nonprofits across the nation and around the world!
