About The S2F2

Mission & Objective

The S2F2 is an IMDB QUALIFYING FESTIVAL

If your submission satisfies the general requirements for acceptance to our festival, your film is automatically eligible for a page on the world’s largest movie database: IMDB – The Internet Movie Database

The Stepping Stone Film Festival (S2F2) is a showcase for emerging independent filmmaking talent from around the world. A strong focus on recognizing and rewarding outstanding narratives and excellent production values in low/no-budget films will aim to encourage aspiring filmmakers to take up the craft.
The S2F2 is a not-for-profit venture of Wannabe Studios, an online social network for independent filmmakers and aspirants from around the world, founded with a mission to make truly border-less collaboration possible in making commercially viable films without the big stars and the big budgets. The festival will be a seven-day-long event beginning on 06 December and ending on 13 December every year, to coincide with “Independent’s Day“, the anniversary of the founding of the Wannabe Studios online network. The grand finale will include a formal announcement of the winners/awards in each category. Some awards may carry prizes as announced on the official S2F2 website. Following the event, “The S2F2 Roadshow” will take the winning films around India in a series of screenings across multiple venues in multiple cities, to reach out to the maximum possible audience.

Selected films will be offered a non-exclusive, VOD (Video On Demand) distribution deal (on profit-sharing basis), to give filmmakers an opportunity to commercially exploit their work globally. More details on this will be made available in early 2012.

All the best! We look forward to receiving your submission. For any queries or clarifications, please contact us.
