We know that for the last few months the COVID-19 pandemic
has taken a toll on film-makers across the globe. Something Wicked Film Festival (www.somethingwickedfilmfestival.com)
has always been an event that showcased films from all over the world and we
know that film-makers have, unfortunately, not been able to continue filming
during this time (or complete films already in production). This means that the number of submissions has
dwindled based on previous years but that doesn’t mean that we are going to
take this lying down! We are seeing a
new wave of indie film-making that is taking this time to improve screenplays,
take extra time editing existing films (or tackling films that have been
sitting on the shelf), and we’ve even heard stories about film-makers
converting web series into feature length films just because they now have all
this time. We love to hear these stories
as it means that even when the world looks bleak, film-makers are still going
to thrive. I am looking forward to
viewing some of these completed projects and am looking forward to hearing
about some amazing new films on the horizon as we enter into unchartered
territory when it comes to the future on film-making and SWFF will be there to
continue screening and supporting film-makers across the globe as we have
always done and hope to continue doing!
Keep telling your stories any way you can no matter the obstacles
put before you!
