All sponsorships support the general funding of the Festival.
All sponsors are listed on the Festival website, social media, and other digital media.
Logos are not included in marketing materials, unless otherwise noted.
Sponsorship amounts between the ones listed are gladly accepted. Please email the Festival Staff ([email protected]) to discuss a benefits package.
The Film Festival Staff will provide marketing materials for promoting each event and film. We expect our partners to use those materials when promoting their event.

• We are designing the virtual festival to be a mix of things we all do together and things we do on our own schedule.
• Members of the public may participate in all aspects of the festival, without invitation.
• Films will be available for watch on-demand throughout the entire festival and people can watch them any time. Those with a Festival Pass will have access to a Premium Streaming Area where they can scroll through movies and watch as they please.
• Those without a Festival Pass will be able to purchase virtual tickets to each film individually. 

With a virtual festival, all of our interaction with the public happens online, through a small number of channels. That means excellent visibility for the recognition we offer to all of our sponsors and supporters. Here are some of the ways we plan to use that visibility to your advantage:

• • Video
    • Talk directly to our audience with a video on the page dedicated to the film you sponsor or inserted before the film you sponsor, depending on your sponsorship level.
  • Links
    • Wherever you’re listed on our website, it will be a link to the page you provide us
  • Social Media
    • Wherever we can, we’ll list you as a Facebook co-sponsor, tag your page, etc.

General Information

• You may either provide a pre-made promotional video about your organization or have someone in your organization record a specially-tailored video.
• In a specially-tailored video, we recommended discussing both what you do, and why you’re sponsoring this specific film.
• Any videos that exceed the timing allotted will be ended at the allotted time. So, a video that is allotted for 30 seconds will only run for 30 seconds, even if the video submitted is 40 seconds. In that example, the last 10 seconds would not be shown.
• Do what you can to ensure high video and audio quality, but don’t let production values take over your life.

Video greetings for film detail pages (all sponsor levels)

• Due date: March 15, 2021. After that date, we will make our best effort to post the video, but can make no guarantees.
• We can only post Vimeo or YouTube links.
  • On YouTube, you can make your video unlisted, but not private.
  • On Vimeo, be sure that the video does not require a password.

Video greetings for film preview ($1,000 and above)

• Due date: April 9. After that date, we will make our best effort to post the video, but can make no guarantees.
• We will need digital files (mp4, H264, etc.) in order to add them to our streaming system. Such files are often too big to email. You can get the file to us using a file sharing service like DropBox or Google Drive.
