BALTIMORE FILM FESTIVAL & SCREENPLAY COMPETITION (BAFF).

The mission is to celebrate cinema, for the artists to have launch pads for their careers and for the audience to discover new voices.

WHAT WE OFFER:

Film screenings: Selected films will play before a live Baltimore audience.

Networking: Casual meetups, authentic connections, no expensive mixers.

Awards: Laurels for the official selections and awards for the Best: Feature, Short, Documentary, Maryland Film, Director, Performance, Cinematography and Editing.

For the screenplay competition, there will be quarterfinalists, semifinalists and one winner. 

Feedback Option: A filmmaker will give thorough and honest comments for the development of the project. 

Industry impact: We have a relationship with a distributor in LA so we can refer any film to them (they specialize in documentaries). 

THE GUARANTEE: This is a meritocracy. The festival was created by a filmmaker himself, Paulo Pérez, who is well-aware of the festival circuit. Every submission is watched/read with care. Every award is earned. 

Top-notch theater in an excellent location. Lots of networking. Communication was exactly what you hope for as a filmmaker. Highly recommend!” – Danielle Weinberg (Writer-Director of Invasion ‘53)
