Liquid Media Group Ltd. (the “Company,” “Liquid Media” or “Liquid”)
(Nasdaq: YVR) is pleased to announce that it has signed on as the
presenting sponsor for Filmocracy Fest 2021, which takes place
December 9th to 12th, 2021 in Los Angeles and across the United
States with hybrid in-person and virtual programming. The Festival
is being produced by Filmocracy, the world’s premiere digital
screening, distribution and experience platform, along with
Founding Partner iGEMStv. It will showcase features and shorts,
including many award winners, as well as social impact films and
critically acclaimed documentaries.
“During the pandemic, Filmocracy developed an
immersive and industry-leading digital film festival platform
enabling festivals to welcome film enthusiasts into virtual,
navigable worlds. Since that time, more than 75 festivals and
markets have adopted Filmocracy’s platform for their events,” said
Ron Thomson, CEO of Liquid Media. “With almost all festivals going
hybrid, including Sundance and SXSW 2022 continuing to offer
virtual options, it is clear that digital screenings are here to
stay. It’s vital for industry leaders to support ongoing industry
innovation, as we are doing through our sponsorship, and we are
delighted to show our support.”
Launched in 2020, Filmocracy Fest is a
digital-native experience co-founded by Filmocracy CEO Paul Jun and
iGEMStv CEO Jon Fitzgerald. The Festival lives at the intersection
of great storytelling, emerging talent, industry professionals and
film fans.
In 2021, the Festival goes hybrid, with
in-person as well as virtual attendance for both film and
networking events designed to showcase new talent, debut world
premieres, foster community and provide valuable insights into
issues vital to the industry via their programming.
“The last year has seen wholesale upheaval of
the festival universe, and Filmocracy Fest 2021 will help both film
festival administrators and programmers, along with their partners
in the filmmaking community and even students or film fans. We look
forward to celebrating this new era of hybrid festivals, along with
emerging technologies,” said Fitzgerald.
“Filmocracy Fest is an opportunity for the
festival and filmmaker community to take stock, absorb all the last
eighteen months, and collaborate to share best practices and make
for a more robust, impactful, profitable film festival ecosystem,”
says Jun. “We’re going to use our own platform to deliver an
informative, exciting and content-rich experience while fusing the
digital and in-person audiences.”
As the presenting sponsor of Filmocracy Fest
2021, Liquid will be showcased across the Festival’s in-person and
digital assets, including presentation rooms hosting Q&As and
other industry discussions, the Festival website, all press
releases, artwork for Festival in a Box, which Filmocracy will ship
to key media, filmmakers, sponsors, passholders, and more. Tickets
are available online.
Liquid has previously announced its intent to
acquire Filmocracy and iGEMStv as part of its growing family of
companies and partners, pending due diligence.
