ABOUT US
Founded by artists with experienced entrepreneurial imagination and vision, the mission of the Universal Film Festival is to create and continue to provide a credible and accessible venue for aspiring and talented filmmakers seeking a medium with which to showcase their work nationally and internationally.
Jump ahead to 2017 and you will find that the location in Kansas City has remained the same for all these years. Films, actors, producers, festival attendees, as well as venders have come and gone, but the festival remains one of the top 100 film festivals in the world. Pretty impressive. The festival's reputation in well known by film makers, but the variety in the type of sponsors is always surprising. You get the usual suspects from the film industry, but we also see sponsors from a number of unrelated industries. Recently a company that offers part time janitorial jobs near me in Pa signed up. There must be some dedicated film buffs there, or else they may have been hired by a production crew that was filming in the area and is having their film shown in the festival this year. It would be intriguing to track down the company and hear their story. Hey, perhaps a film will result! You never know.
The Universal Film Festival was organized to allow independent filmmakers an opportunity to gain regional, national and international recognition and award. Films may be showcased through The Universal Film Festival affiliations in Los Angeles, New York, and Kansas City.
The Universal Film Festival is an international film festival and applications are accepted from all over the world and in all genres of films. Winners are selected by a judging panel of film industry professionals, business professionals, and Universal Film Festival executives.
Our Vision is to be the premiere venue in North America for filmmakers from all over the world to present their independent film work in all categories and genre, and to provide aspiring filmmakers with excellent opportunities for networking and promotion of their work and talent.
American Artist Agency, Inc., Kansas City, MO. (A full service Modeling/Talent Agency), www.americanartistagency.com , is proud to present the Universal Film Festival as part of our family of entertainment industry companies.
