MISSION & OBJECTIVE
Zero Film Festival is the first festival EXCLUSIVE to self financed filmmakers and their authentically independent films.

Zero Film Festival is an independent organization and registered 501(c)(3) operating now out of NYC as well as Los Angeles, committed to helping under represented filmmakers and screening original and innovative films for cinema lovers everywhere.


ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Zero Film Festival - Focusing on a niche in the independent film community which has been under appreciated and ignored, Zero Film Festival is dedicated to screening self financed films from filmmakers all over the world.

In the age where the majority of festivals are Hollywood marketing campaigns, and even "indie" and "underground" festivals screen financed films, we are here to offer something different. We recognize authentically independent films and filmmakers who take risks and fight the odds to see their visions through.

The Zero Film Festival is the first festival EXCLUSIVE to self-financed filmmakers, providing a platform to screen their bold and innovative films in Los Angeles AND New York City.

In 2009 ZFF added its 1st annual West Coast Tour - screening selected 2008 films in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Hollywood and Orange County. 2010 will see the addition of an East Coast Tour, distribution channels and more...

---

Zero Film Festival has established itself as a festival representing authenticity, integrity and innovation. In 2008, we screened well over a 100 films from filmmakers all over the world. Over 70 filmmakers were in attendance from as far away as Singapore, U.K. and Bangkok.

Zero Film Festival alumni have gone on to receive distribution and financing for their next film projects.

Our nightly after parties feature the best indie bands and stretched till dawn.
