Had to be Made Film Festival and Gala

About Us

We came up with the Had To Be Made Film Festival to allow the filmmakers to have their work evaluated by industry professionals, independent video retailers and the film-going public. If their films are selected for the festival, they will not only have their work seen, but unlike other festivals, they will share in the revenues generated by sales and prove their marketability for other distribution channels including cable, foreign, theatrical and large-chain store retailers.

The audience gets the opportunity to not only "discover" films that they would otherwise have no access to, but also to be involved in both the selection and the awards process where their online reviews and votes will make a difference.
