Made in NY and Partnership with SUNYWide Film Festival
The Twin Tiers International Film Festival has partnered with the SUNYWide Film Festival to draw more attention to student filmmaking in the state of NY. Launched in 2009 as an opportunity to showcase the cinematic work of students and faculty within the SUNY (state university of New York) system, SWFF continues to be a leading festival in New York showcasing SUNY student filmmaking.
In partnering with SWFF, the Twin Tiers International Film Festival will screen SWFF's top 3 films in our new submission category, "Made In NY". SWFF's films will then be in competition with our direct "Made in NY" submissions for the category prize. With our partnership, we hope to put the cinematic art of NY students in the forefront and spotlight up and coming artists that are local to our region.
Made in NY is our exclusive submission category for all student filmmakers who attend school in New York State. This category offers the lowest submissions fees we offer. This is a separate competitive category meaning that all films will be reviewed, judged and graded by our panel. The selected films will then be screened at the festival as part of this category separate from other submission categories, meaning we will be awarding the top "Made in NY" film!
The winning "Made in NY" filmmaker will receive a trophy, Final Draft 11 software, and a gift from one of our local sponsors!
As a special bonus for our local students that are nearby Norwich, we will offer ALL LOCAL SUBMITTERS one (1) free VIP Pass into the festival good for the entire festival regardless of selection.
PASS GIVEAWAY LIMITED TO THE FIRST 30 LOCAL SUBMITTERS.
