News from the Cobb International Film Festival.

We have finalized plans for our first presenter for the 12th Annual festival in August of 2026.

She will be flying in from Los Angeles for the festival and will be doing a presentation AND breakout sessions on finding funding for your films. BUT, this one isn't just a "here's how you do it" type of presentation. She will talk about what investors want to see from you, how to pitch your project, THEN provide all attendees with her personal list of contacts with proven investors AND a letter of introduction you can use to contact these investors.

This will be a great foot in the door for anyone who attends her breakout sessions.

More info as we get closer to the festival but mark your calendars how - the festival is Aug 6-9, 2026
