Jeff Hipolito graduated from the school of hard knocks.  His vision to start a CG Animation Production Studio in NYC is now being realized after holding on to his dream for the past 20 years.  He has never lost sight of his goal and has endeavored through the decades to accomplish this dream.  He and his team are currently hard at work in producing their first intellectual property -  a CG Animated TV Pilot - that will bring big Hollywood style production values for the price of an ultra low "indie budget."

Wonderful news V2VIFF.com fans the hit indie film web sensation FILMSNOBBERY.COM will chat about our festival on their show, FilmSnobbery Live!, in February. If you would like to see what they are all about hit the links below. 

Stick to your vision, yet always go with the Flow!

Now Accepting Entries!!!

GOOD and BAD NEWS...


The GOOD is that we are now accepting entries! The BAD is that we won't have a W.A.B. link on the submission page for another two weeks.


SO if you are courageous and want to mail in your short film without W.A.B. go right ahead BUT PLEASE FOLLOW THE SUBMISSION RULES on the Submission Page.


Word to the wise, just be patient and wait for the W.A.B. link. In the past I have submitted a lot of film and I always felt better and more confident using the W.A.B. or the WithoutABox.com link.


Are you a Devil-may-care-type or the patience is a virtue kind?!?

THERE IS NO STUDENT FILM NOR IS THERE A CHILDREN'S CATEGORY

Let's face it if you are going for a TOTAL VICTORY you gotta "ante-up" and get ready to play with the "Big Dogs"! So there won't be any "student discounts" or "special categories". :P

... Until next year, when there will be special breaks for all qualifying entrants :D

... But for now, NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!!!

FYI - P. O. Box address is coming soon for the fest. Check back soon :)

IT'S ON AND EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED!

HEY FESTIVAL AND FILM FANS!!!

I am thoroughly excited to announce that we are moving forward with the NEW and IMPROVED festival site which is just days from being launched. SADLY, we had to scrap everything and start anew. I, personally, disappointed with the incredible amount of treachery and egotistical responses that I had to initially deal with BUT...

WE ARE NOW READY TO LAUNCH!!! My initial idea of festival "Forefathers" has been put on the back burner (for now (LMAO)). HOWEVER, we have GREAT NEW PRIZES and AWARDS to offer future festival patrons besides hang out with people with fancy made-up titles (LOL).

MORE PRIZES...
MORE AWARDS...
MORE FILM...
MORE FUN...

What more can you ask for?

Take it easy, definitely keep it breezy, and I look forward to seeing you at the fest!!!!
