A PLATFORM THAT HIGHLIGHTS STORYTELLING FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND FOSTERS A COMMUNITY OF DISTINCT VOICES.
The Urbanworld Film Festival, founded in 1997 by Stacy Spikes, is one of the largest internationally competitive festivals of its kind. Each year, we curate a slate of films representing the broadest lens of diversity across stories, characters, themes, and cultures. We fight tirelessly to expand the definition of “urban” beyond ethnicity to include sensibility, culture, and proximity. We strive to be “the filmmakers festival” and “the people’s festival,” providing a point of intersection where creators and audiences meet to experience bold and diverse artistic works. Expect no less from Urbanworld on it’s 22nd birthday this September as this year’s program promises even more inclusivity from filmmakers all over the globe. Submission remain open until it’s Final Deadline this Friday, May 25th.

Hey everyone! We are SO CLOSE to our fundraising goal for my first documentary film as director! It is called WHAT’S GOING ON. It is about MANHOOD, in every way you can imagine. It is about fathers, it is about sons. It is about new definitions, new ways of thinking, and asking WHAT IS A MAN? We are HALFWAY to our goal of $15,000. Would LOVE to get 200 folks TODAY/TONIGHT to donate just $10 each, at this Facebook fundraising page link, to get us to $10,000 immediately! Here is that link:

BFI London Film Festival Director Tricia Tuttle talks predictions for the future of film and film festivals with CMRubinWorld.
This seems like an awesome festival! All of the content on here is really cool, I’m going to check it out for myself. As a fellow film lover, I wanted to share with you guys about a new independent film called Empathy Inc. This film blends sci-fi and horror elements seamlessly, which I feel is one of the many attributes that got it named one of the best independent film releases of the year. The movie tells the story of Joel, a businessman who lost his job and his credibility and is eager to start over in a new city. He is quickly approached by a strange virtual reality start-up which turns out not to be as innocent as it seems. This movie is filmed in black and white while discussing advanced technology which created an added irony that I didn’t expect. It’s available to stream on Amazon and iTunes, let me know what you guys think!
