AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED

Thanks to this new online format, three-month presentation run of most films and all events and panels, and new aggressive social media campaign, we are expecting virtual attendance to surpass 1 million visitors!

We are also setting-up an online VENDOR MARKETPLACE.  For only $200, you will be part of our virtual vendor room from the day of opening (October 16) through the end of the year. This is an amazing value considering the importance of shopping online these days.

We also are including a special section for SUPPORTERS of the Festival. For as little as $50, you and your organization can show support for the films, filmmakers, and celebrities. This is a prime networking opportunity.

FearCon will also feature movie style “COMING ATTRACTIONS” where commercials of your film, products, events, and other promotional items can be played BEFORE EACH FILM.

If you are interested in participating, please contact us at 347-497-4814.

Thank you for your support of independent film!
