NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) champions emerging and diverse filmmakers and storytellers from around the world and provides a forum where filmmakers can be recognized for their contributions, have open audience discussions about their work, and connect with industry professionals for insight on distribution, production, and representation. In an effort to showcase, support, educate, and build relationships for next- gen filmmakers, NFMLA has rapidly expanded beyond the NFMLA Monthly Film Festival to host an array of workshops, panels, competitions, and diversity and networking programs.
The GGF supports NFMLA’s Monthly InFocus Film Festival program.The InFocus diversity initiative seeks to combat the lack of diversity in the film industry by giving underrepresented groups of filmmakers (i.e. race, ethnicity, region, age, gender, differently- abled status, sexual identity/orientation, indigenous heritage, cultural and socioeconomic background) the opportunity to showcase their work and connect with industry professionals during the Monthly Festival.
The GGF also supports NFMLA’s Student Membership program in an effort to provide LA County College and University Students with access to NFMLA’s Monthly Film Festival programming.
