Soul 4 Reel Short Film Festival
-Dealing with “The Soul of Relationships”-

Mission & Objective
The Soul 4 Reel Film Festival spotlights truly independent short films (under 60
minutes) in every genre including music videos, created by new and established
filmmakers dealing with “the soul of relationships.” The goal is to enlighten,
inspire and build the imaginations and lives of those who enjoy making films as
well as those who simply observe by expressing what it means to have and be in
a relationship. The competition is open to students, indie filmmakers, and music
video directors from all over the world.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The Soul Factory Theatre will be presenting the first annual Soul 4 Reel Film
Festival March 12-14, 2010. This three day competition will feature independent
short films of all genres as well as music videos, dealing with “the soul of
relationships.” “Relationships can be defined as love between a husband and
wife, love for a pet, love between friends, a favorite material possession, etc.
This event will be presented at The Soul Factory Theatre located at 7702
Marlboro Pike, Forestville Maryland. In addition to independent films, the
competition will host Q&A segments from directors in the industry as well as
directors of films in competition. Cash prizes will also be awarded. Most
importantly, filmmakers will enjoy the opportunity to meet and learn from other
filmmakers, an experience that comes from the premier showcase dedicated to
short films and the people who make them.

As an added bonus, selected films from competition will have the
opportunity to be showcased at our sister company in Atlanta, GA for our
next filmmakers competition later in the year.
