from KoldCast TV:
Web television network KoldCast TV will sponsor the webseries pilot category for the 2010-2011 FirstGlance Film Fests, a bicoastal film festival showcasing independent filmmakers from around the world. The winner of this category will receive distribution and marketing of their pilot as well as a meeting with the network.
“We’ve been fans of FirstGlance for some time,” says Marti Resteghini, VP of Programming and Licensing for KoldCast TV. “With previous FirstGlance alumni like Palisades Pool Party, Life is Just a Game and Fissure already part of the KoldCast family, we felt it was only logical for us to partner with the festival in a more meaningful way. Together we aim to continue to provide opportunities for independent filmmakers worldwide.”
“We are honored to add KoldCast TV as a sponsor to our growing webseries pilot category,” says William Ostroff, Producer/Founder of FirstGlance Film Fests. “Over the past few years, we have realized that webseries now represent an entirely new genre of television which provide a major new opportunity for talented young filmmakers, actors and producers, and we expect the partnership to add accessibility and recognition to well-written and well-produced webseries.”
FirstGlance annually awards over $50,000 in cash, prizes and giveaways, accepting all formats from feature films to music videos. Call for entries for FirstGlance Hollywood open August 2010.
