In 2023, Film Independent launched Festival Visions with five U.S. festivals—Bentonville, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, and Outfest—to showcase emerging artists and expand their reach. Amid the pandemic, the challenge was to translate the energy of in-person festivals into a fully virtual format. We created a custom online platform for screenings, live Q&As, and interactive forums, delivering an experience that exceeded expectations for engagement and participation. This innovative approach not only broadened audiences but also reinforced Film Independent’s mission to champion independent voices and reimagine how festivals can connect with communities.
