The Lift-Off Global Network exists with the aim of launching filmmakers careers. Our International Animations Showcase is an event held at Pinewood Studios, which aims to celebrate and nurture those applying their animating abilities to create bold and innovative films. It incorporates screenings, discussions, feedback and presentations by organisations eager to support animators and filmmakers venturing into the exciting world of independent animation.

Following on from the massive success of our First-Time Filmmaker Showcase, with one of our premier team's winning an Academy Award, we have designed this new showcase programme intended for animation filmmakers - with the overall goal for all who are selected to have a head start within the film industry.

Partnering up with the selection for The International Virtual Reality Showcase, you will be joined by other skilled filmmakers carving their path in the film industry.

There will be opportunities throughout the day to have your questions answered and this will enable filmmakers who attend the event to forge long lasting relationships which will be essential in the future! For each production team, there will also be a group peer review session. In this session, there will be a full discussion about the various films which have been screened during the day based on feedback from the attendees. Filmmakers will also have the opportunity to have a one-on-one meet and greet with the Lift-Off Co-founders James Bradley and Ben Pohlman.

Our goal is to offer as much as possible to all who submit, our officially selected filmmakers, our nominees and winners. At the submission level we offer value for your submission fee with exclusive content and a 24-page e-book, highlighting…

♠ Submitting to the large festivals
♠ Discussing classic mistakes on the festival circuit
♠ Highlighting the right festival submission strategy
♠ Some golden rules for success
♠ Tips on how to start building a realistic filmmaking career

There will be prizes for:

The winner will screen at one of Lift-Off’s international city-based festivals.

On top of this, is the huge potential of being invited to be part of one of the many upcoming Lift-Off productions planned for 2018 and beyond. With the instant usage of our production equipment valued over $75,000.
