Monmouth Film Festival Returns August 2017

Prepare for another great season of top-quality, independent cinema in Monmouth County! Last December
Monmouth Film Festival made its mark during its inaugural event at the Two River Theater in Red Bank,
NJ - attracting audiences from across the tri-state area; receiving rave reviews and top ratings. Film critic
Joan Ellis of the Two River Times wrote, “The production quality, scripting, and acting of all the films
was extremely high and the subject matter was refreshingly original”. “What an amazing first-year event
this festival is. Everything was done first class with entertainment in mind” commented Associate Director
of the NJ Film Commission, David Schoner.

The Festival and its programming team search endlessly to find the hidden gems amongst the film
industry. As the President of the company states, “There are no favorites, no special treatments, and no
‘good old boys club’. Every film gets the same fair opportunity to be chosen.”

The festival is currently accepting submissions for it's 2017 season, which will take place August 10-13th
2017, at the Two River Theater in Red Bank, NJ. Submission categories include Feature, Short and
Student films (all genres), Screenplays, Trailers, TV Pilots & Web series. For more submission info, visit:

The festival will feature special events in August including the Industry Networking Event and Industry
Film Panel - two MFF exclusive events aimed to promote, connect, and educate current and aspiring
artists. Last year's panel included esteemed guests from all corners of the industry including Producers,
Distributors, Filmmakers/Directors and more!
