M Pire Magazine sits down with FirstGlance Film to do an exclusive interview. Check it out below: Q: Who was the original founder of FirstGlance? A: William Ostroff Q: What are some of the major events that go on during the festival that filmmakers can participate in to help promote their work? A: We have 2 festivals per year, one in Philadelphia and one in Los Angeles. We also produce an online short film companion contest for shorts we are unable to program in the physical events. We have after party mixers for filmmakers to network with other filmmakers, actors, models, producers, etc. Maybe you’ll meet your next lead or a director who wants to cast you in their next film.
