Online Red-Carpet Premiere winners are chosen throughout the year and BEST of each category also receives a LIVE RED-CARPET NEW YORK CITY PREMIERE SCREENING!
Simple and to the point, filmmakers have big dreams but few come true for the majority. The festivals and film market are being over flooded with Indies films, and now, from even children who are considered producers and filmmakers. If you have a good film and want a chance for it to be seen, promoted and maybe make a little profit along the way is what the RCCF is about.
The RCCF uses online Red Carpet Premieres to promote, market and screen your film for one to two weeks, just as if it was a live premiere screening but with the chance for a large, potentially huge, audience base. We use social media to promote, market and sell tickets for your online premiere. YOU retain ALL rights to your film. Films chosen to be screened at a Red Carpet Premiere are publicized for two weeks before the online premiere is launched. Filmmakers can earn 15 to 20% of the box office for a successful online screening.
Filmmakers whose films have been made OFFICIAL SELECTIONS have the option to decide WHEN they have their online premiere. BEST of each category will also receive a LIVE NEW YORK CITY SCREENING.
Films are accepted made from 2006 until now. You must own full rights to your film, music, screenplay, etc.. and accept full legal liability for owning those rights.
We accept full length features from 60 minutes or longer, any genre. (NO PORN)
Shorts are accepted up to 59 minutes. All genres, (NO PORN)
Features and Shorts are judged and awarded laurels IN NUMEROUS CATEGORIES,
ALL GENRES, ( horror, history, comedy, documentary, animation, family films, inspirational, experimental, music videos, dance videos, series pilot, etc.
First time or master filmmaker, Best Editing, Best Music Score, Best FX, Best Cinematography, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress. Best Woman Filmmaker, Best Foreign Film, Best Director, Best Ensemble Cast, etc.
The submission fee covers all this and more to give YOU the filmmaker a better chance for your film to be recognized and noticed by other festivals and distributors. People are more apt to buy an Indies Film if they see that they were award winners and recognized by various festivals. LAURELS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAY HAVE EVER IMAGINED. We give filmmakers the opportunity to win multiple award laurels for just ONE SUBMISSION FEE, plus CASH and a Red Carpet Online Premiere, AND a NEW YORK CITY LIVE PREMIERE SCREENING!
