As most filmmakers will tell you, being involved with making a film means; countless hours of hard work, stress, dedication, discipline, lack of sleep, lots of smiles, lots of tears, ridiculous amounts of coffee consumed, new bonds forged, and not to mention all those hours spent away from family and friends. So what’s the point of going through it all if no-one ever gets to see your work of art? Could you imagine if Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, and just hung it in his bedroom? Your work of art NEEDS to be seen, admired and help to inspire.
'The Next Level International Film Festival’ (TNLIFF) was inspired by filmmakers for filmmakers to encourage and help push filmmakers to their full potential. 'The Next Level’ is a platform for emerging artists to show the world what they are capable of, not just locally or nationally, but INTERNATIONALLY!
This is a free event to all those who wish to attend. That’s right it’s a FREE festival. So the money you save on a ticket can be spent on the amazing food and drinks that are on offer.
-----COVID19 PANDEMIC NOTICE -----
We hope that you and your families and friends are managing to stay healthy and happy in these unpredictable circumstances we find ourselves in with COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
Shadow Wolves Productions and The Next Level International Film Festival are well aware, and appreciate, the severity of the situation that is developing around the world.
Festivals, all around the world, have been forced to cancel or postpone their events as they follow strict guidelines and recommendations from their governments; and The Next Level International Film Festival is no exception.
Due to these unique events, we have decided that it's within the best interest of our friends, family, workers, filmmakers and fans, that this years event, not be cancelled, but instead goes online. The dates for the festival will remain the same, as will the deadline dates, awards and prizes. This is the best possible outcome that we can see, that keeps everyone's best interests at hand; filmmakers, fans and workers alike.
We believe that communication with the filmmakers is essential, hence why we have made this decision earlier rather than later.
In order to encourage everyone to continue to enter their films into this year's festival, we would like to offer a 75% off discount code. At checkout, please use the code: COVID75OFF. This code can be used multiple times and will continue between now and our closing date.
We hope everyone will continue to use their creativity and use the time in quarantine or isolation to enhance their creativity and careers.
