November Updates

Hello ConneKt Film Community!

November has kicked off with an incredible lineup of events, and we’re thrilled to have met so many of you at ProFusion, the Reelworld Film Festival, and other industry gatherings. The warmth, enthusiasm, and support we received from everyone have been inspiring, and it’s fantastic to see how our community is growing. We’re honored to be a part of your creative journeys, and it means the world to hear that our newsletter has been helpful along the way!

So many of you have been working hard on creating your 48 Hour Film Project. We can’t wait to see the results of your hard work—each project a testament to your creativity and resilience! You can find the screening schedule here.

As we head into the rest of November, we’re cheering you on for a productive month and looking forward to connecting with you soon. Winter is just around the corner, and so is the holiday season!
