ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Making a web series is hard work. Lots of hard work. That's why HollyWeb believes that there should be festivals that honor the effort that goes into making a web series. Supporting the growing web series community is important to us, and we'd love for content creators worldwide to be able to showcase their work, just like those entering feature length films into festivals. There is a growing movement towards both film festivals having new media categories, and festivals dedicated exclusively towards web series. We want to be a big part of this movement, and will join the ranks of the few and far between web series exclusive festivals.
