| Welcome to the FirstGlance Film Festivals Website. Since our inception in 1996, we have become one of the fastest growing indie film fests in Philadelphia and Hollywood. Named one of the “Best Film Festival Investments” by Movie Maker Magazine and “One of the Festivals for the Rest of Us” by Time Magazine, FirstGlance has become a leader in mid-sized film festivals. Applauded by filmmakers and attendees as one of the best programmed festivals, FirstGlance accepts all genres and shows an amazing mix of short and feature length films, the best indie films on the festival circuit, before they hit theaters. Audiences vote for "Best of the Fest" and are invited to come mix and mingle with filmmakers, cast and crew at great after parties. FirstGlance Film Fests brings indie filmmakers and audiences together all year long too! With our annual paperless screenplay competitions, our companion short online contests prior to our festivals, and our "Show Us Your Shorts" mixers and screenings, FirstGlance Independent Film Festivals works to get filmmakers the attention they deserve. FirstGlance Film Fest Philly and FirstGlance Film Fest Hollywood offer filmmakers great prize packages, distribution opportunities, filmmaker awards and a personal touch not matched by any other festival. Come see what makes FirstGlance unlike any other indie film festival. |
