What GeekFest Film Fests does for filmmakers

Unlike anything you’ve ever experienced! We work closely with the conventions to bring not only a film festival event within the con, but secure booth space and panels to develop with the convention, which enables our filmmakers to not only screen their films, but they can promote on the Exhibit Floor and speak on special GeekFest Panels at each event.

We work with conventions to secure guest passes for filmmakers to attend, and we promote your film all year long…as long as your film is traveling with GeekFest Film Fests, then it’s being promoted on social media.

In our 1st six years GeekFest Film Fests short content has been distributued to Stan Lee’s World of Heroes Youtube channel (now defunct), one of the biggest Geek channels on the platform and currently on the Dust/Alter platform from Gunpowder & Sky, one of Los Angeles’ largest art house distribution companies with over a million subscribers and 100’s of millions of views.

Our social media is continuously growing as is our reach, with our youtube channel with almost four thousand subscribers and over 5.7 million views, and our highly engaged twitter audience of almost 10K, your film reaches millions of eyes every year.

In our 1st 10 years, we’ve programmed almost 100 GeekFest events, attended by over 75,000 at comic conventions with a a combined attendance of over 7 million.

GeekFest is the only “must submit” for geek indie filmmakers across the globe, as it’s continously one of the Top 100 best Reviewed events on Film Freeway, and gives filmmakers an opportunity to be seen by more eyes than any other film festival on Earth.

GeekFest Events are expanding in our second decade to stand-alone events in Los Angeles and abroad! Stay Tuned for more information!
