NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) has been nominated for Best Film Festival, as part of USA TODAY 10Best’s Readers’ Choice Awards.

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 Golden Globe Foundation 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. 

Votes can be cast daily until Monday, March 3rd at 11:59am EST at the link below:
