What We're About
"Every story begins with a single frame. In its inaugural year, First Frame International Film Festival (FFI), has a mission to award filmmakers and screenwriters with more than just another laurel and fancy statue. As most know, showbiz is about who you know and how lucky you are, based on the amount of talent that goes undiscovered. We want to share our contacts and resources with our winning filmmakers and screenwriters to help them succeed in this highly competitive industry."
-Rob Margolies - Filmmaker
and Creator of The First Frame International Film Festival
You didn't create your film to sit on a shelf.
At the First Frame International Film
Festival we offer you:
Live Screenings in State of the Art Theaters
Immediate Contact With Distributors
Marketing and Sales Expertise
Competitive Awards and Exposure
Media Budgets for Promotion
We Guide You Through The
Distribution Process
"I've been working with Rob for years and one thing I know is that he knows exactly what he is doing when it comes to the creation, production and distribution of films for profit, exposure and the growth of a filmmaker's career.
With his new festival, Margoiles and his team aim to do the same for all of the winners who showcase their work with the First Frame International Film Festival. To my mind, this is a first in the history of Cinema events that showcase the work of in many cases unknown talent.
Can he do it? Of course he can and I'm even giving the First Frame Team one of my films to represent."
Del Weston - Writer / Producer / Director
