After a two-year hiatus since the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world in 2020, Epic ACG Fest will finally have a chance to return to its former Silicon Valley grandeur in October 2022. After the experience of having to reduce the scale of activities due to the epidemic in 2020 and 2021, the Epic ACG Fest has always been eager to return to Silicon Valley and return to the place where it started, so as to bring a truly top-notch activity experience to all friends who came to participate in the Epic ACG Fest. As the founder of the Epic ACG Fest, Maeya Group believes that this year it has the conditions and ability to return to its pre-epidemic status, and once again organize the 9th Epic ACG Fest on the same level and scale as Hollywood's top film festival.
After 8 years of ups and downs, the Epic ACG Fest has grown from scratch. What remains unchanged is that it is always committed to bringing the world's anime culture enthusiasts together and building an international cultural event. It is based on Northern California's high-end animation, comics, and games environment, welcomes friends from all over the world. The Epic ACG Fest is eager to provide many animations and game lovers with opportunities to show their talents and self-expression. It would be a window to the world stage that will help talented, passionate, and young artists to develop brighter careers. Silicon Valley was chosen as the home base for the event because the development of science and technology is inextricably linked with the change in animation technology, and many well-known animation production companies in the United States are also located in California. Holding annual events here can better help aspiring and talented rising stars faster establish connections with high-end industry pros and jobs so that more talents can reach the world through the platform of the Epic ACG Fest.
Every year, animation, comics, graphic design, game design, animation scripts, and other projects from all over the world participate in the Epic ACG Fest. Countless young artists gain the attention and professional comments of Hollywood high-end production companies here. Numerous outstanding stars of tomorrow enter the ideal university through the honor gained in the Epic ACG Fest. Every year at the event, top professionals from Hollywood will come to the site to hold professional panels to share their professional experience and help all artists, fans, and animation lovers participating in the event better understand the industry process of Hollywood games and animation production. "International top animation game platform" is the most extensive evaluation and recognition received by the Epic ACG Fest, and it has also been highly praised by global animation game producers and professional companies. It is the constant pursuit of the Epic ACG Fest to help the animation and game industry continuously find talents from all over the world, to add impetus to the future development of the animation and game industry, and to let excellent artistic talents be found to be seen.
During the event, in addition to the live screening and on-site exhibition of the shortlisted works, the organizing committee of the Epic ACG Fest also arranged live game experience, new game release, Cosplay, face-to-face discussions with practitioners, and Hollywood red carpet sessions on the day of the awards ceremony. As Maeya Group, which has nearly 20 years of experience in hosting Hollywood professional film festivals, the original intention of establishing the Epic ACG Fest is to organically combine the mode of Hollywood high-end film festivals with anime culture. So that the world can really understand anime, appreciate anime, promote anime culture, and really push good works and IP to the global market. "A base camp for all fans of anime and game culture" is the ultimate ideal of the Epic ACG Fest.
With the lifting of the worldwide travel ban, we warmly welcome excellent works and artists from each corner of the world to Silicon Valley this October to celebrate the return of this global event. For those who are interested in participating in this Epic ACG Fest, the event committee will assist in the preparation of international travel planning and related documents, and provide support and travel assistance for each participant. Looking forward to meeting you in Silicon Valley in the golden autumn of October!
