Spirit Quest Film Festival

The Spirit Quest Film Festival has opened their call for entries for their 2012 season and is currently seeking inspirational, thought provoking and intriguing films and screenplays from around the world.

Created and maintained by film festival veterans with deep ties within the industry, Spirit Quest hopes to provide submitting filmmakers and screenwriters with the exposure and attention they deserve for all of their hard work.

We're looking for anything that will move us, make us laugh, cry and learn something about ourselves and the world we inhabit in the process.

We hope to inspire, enlighten and challenge our audiences by showcasing films and awarding screenplays that explore the best (and sometimes the worst) of the human experience.

Films and stories of faith, courage and success, that celebrate and explore our diversity, our planet and our politics. From introspective meditations on relationships, to mind boggling journeys to far away places and anything in between – share your vision with us.

If you have a film or screenplay that fits any of these descriptions, we want to see it!

All genres accepted - dramas, documentaries, comedies, animation, music videos and any film dealing with the above themes.  There is even a special category for young filmmakers under the age of 18 this season.

 

Awards will be presented to the Best Films and Screenplays.

Scram

Director: Jahan Shah.
A short based on a sort of chaos theory, SCRAM is a fun, fast-paced clip that shows us nothing is quite as it seems - and how what we think we know about others often is only a half-truth.

Hungarian Film Festival of Los Angeles

“The Hungarian Film Festival is without a doubt the best ethnic film festival in Los Angeles. It is well programmed and well produced. I can not think of a better way in which to promote Hungarian cinema in Hollywood.
GREGORY LAMMLE …Lammle Theaters

“The opportunity for film enthusiasts to see Hungarian films, exchange ideas and generate
relationships in the entertainment community are just the beginning of the positive benefits that stem from the Hungarian Film Festival. This festival provides an opportunity for Hungarian filmmakers to voice their passion for storytelling through the beauty of film. “An American Rhapsody”, a film by Hungarian Eva Gardos, was the International Grand Prize winner of the Hartley-Merrill Screenwriting Competition, but it was the Hungarian Film
Festival that allowed Eva to share her voice with the rest of the world.”

PARK IT RIGHT

Director: Donny Kingsley Okoh.
Five Traffic Wardens who are University Students and migrants are determined to prove to the public that there is more to them than their big bums and issuing parking tickets. Being a Migrant worker and student with an accent in the UK is a big problem for Chris and his colleagues and they embark on a mission to uplift the image of traffic wardens and are determined to go extra miles. Albeit the daily difficulties inherent in being a traffic warden, Chris, Emeka, Sanjay, Everton, Heather, Colin and Lucy utilize all their skills to show the public that their temporary career path do not define who they are and that whenever people see them, they should not get scared that they will be fined for not packing properly rather; they should be ready to be entertained by their wits and dancing capabilities. Their quest to help change the views of the public about traffic wardens and gain acceptability is dealt a heavy blow when Colin falls in love with a fellow student (Jade). In his “never say never” attitude, Colin decides to sing to her about his undying love in front of the whole class and in turn, makes himself and his colleagues a laughing stock.
