Perennial Film Festival
"It is a new and refreshing way to do film festivals. Thank you very much for accepting my film and thank you even more for the feedback. It was excellent feedback and it is nice to have fresh eyes on this project." - Kevin Almodovar, Director of "Until Death"
"We are humbled by your kind words of The Coming Convergence." - Carrie Miller of Ingenuity Films (http://www.ingenuityfilms.com/)
"Many thanks and what an honor it is to be included in the Perennial Film Festival. Thank you for your critique and very useful comments on our production." - Jason Meath, CEO of Meath Television Media LLC
"Again. Thank you. Your evaluation really helped me understand my film more and is also helpful for my future projects." - Roman Sotelo, Producer of "Grief"
Perennial Film Festival is founded by Ryan Sharp of Perennial Motion Pictures. The Festival was created to provide a quality venue for filmmakers to present quality works that are technically sound to the community. The mission of Perennial Film Festival is to provide filmmakers with a platform to connect, learn, and reach people with quality stories via the video and film craft. Our films not only entertain but encourage conversation. Perennial is proud to be an official fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. We encourage donations to this and other worthy Veterans groups. During the festival, we honor American Veterans with a presentation of colors, veterans films, stories about service, and donations to Veterans organizations.
We do everything we can to help filmmakers improve their craft and promote the filmmakers in our festival. There are multiple ways we do this and fulfill our mission:
1) Unlike most festivals and as a thank you to filmmakers who submit their films to us, we provide an evaluation of every film as a courtesy. Our judges panel is made up of professionals who work in various parts of the business. Their evaluations give each filmmaker professional tips, tools, and advice they can use to improve their film and craft.
2) We have educational Q+As with filmmakers and a lot of audience feedback/interaction.
3) Multiple ways and opportunities to connect and build relationships with other filmmakers, movie fans, and friends in the community through round table discussions, promotions tables, dinner parties, conversations, and movie memorabilia giveaways.
Instructional films, documentaries, short shorts, shorts, features, and all types of films are accepted. However, films must not contain nudity, sexual content, glorified violence or foul language.
FESTIVAL TIME AND PLACE
The festival is held annually at the Punta Gorda Historical Building at 118 Sullivan St in downtown Punta Gorda, FL. This area is right next to a waterfront hotel and has plenty of parking. There's also beautiful restaurants, shops, waterfront parks, and downtown venues to check out.
Saturday's events begin at noon and continues with more film screenings and filmmaker discussions. Films range in topic but are all very entertaining and thought-provoking. Some highlights include two animated shorts, a documentary about Red Tide in Florida, and a Tribute to the Veterans Saturday Evening at 7pm. There will be a dinner break at 5pm, and doors will reopen at 6:30pm with the Veterans Tribute and prime time movie starting starting at 7pm. There will be prize giveaways, including movie posters and memorabilia; Q+As with filmmakers; stories about a Battle of the Bulge Veteran, and plenty of opportunity for audience participation. The awards ceremony will start Sunday evening at 7pm and run until approx. 9pm. Winning films (voted by the audience on Saturday night) will be shown and presented awards.
Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at the event.
