Urban Nomad Film Fest

Urban Nomad Film Fest is the oldest and best known underground film festival in Taiwan. It was founded in Taipei in 2002, and the ongoing project is to create a community-oriented film environment and put an end to the impersonal ‘black box’ movie theater environment where hundreds of people can watch films without really interacting with each other. We tend to hold festival screenings and events in warehouses, outdoor spaces and converted spaces, rather than traditional film theaters. Peripheral events include concerts, parties, discussion seminars and directors talks.

Urban Nomad's festival content is socially motivated, growing with and out of digital and grassroots film movements: underground, alternative, digital, arthouse, DVcam, Flash, and web-based films. Our program is evenly split between Taiwanese indie shorts (open submission) and international, independent documentaries and features (feel free to contact us).

Going Green Film Festival

The GOING GREEN FILM FESTIVAL (GGFF) encourages green filmmaking by rewarding filmmakers who have lessened their carbon footprint on the planet during production, used alternative transportation within the storyline of their films, or have created a film whose subject includes the environment, third world issues and the like. GGFF aims to spotlight those who are working to preserve our planet through entertainment and help inspire other filmmakers to adopt green practices, build greater awareness of social and environmental issues, and raise money for the Minorities in Broadcasting Training Program (MIBTP) (www.theBroadcaster.com), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization formed in 1992 to provide training opportunities to college graduates in TV/radio news reporting, news management and film/TV production.
 Eligible films can be any genre, but must be between 10 and 120 minutes in length and have been completed between 2008 and 2010. Films may be submitted online at www.goinggreenfilmfestival.com. The standard deadline is November 30th, 2009, with a submission fee of $55 and the final deadline is January 15, 2010, with a submission fee $65. Each submission fee includes a $20 donation towards Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). For every REC purchased, one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity is delivered to power grids. Join us in our quest to REthink, REplenish, REcommit.

Words from the Cast of Anna's Story

    "Anna's Story" is a love-story evolution. It is a story celebrating the beauty & power of that first glance with a beloved, and the poignancy & pain of a final goodbye. These are moments that so many of us have experienced and hold dear to our hearts, and it is that shared experience that draws me to "Anna's Story". In portraying the character of Dave, it is my sincere hope to not only highlight the humanity & universal hope in this everyday ...

First time Director

    Well this is my first time directing a film and first time writting a script. I didn't want to be another Actor who did this like so many befor me but I thought about it and thought why not I guess if I write something that means something to me it couldn't be all that bad.
