About

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization designed to showcase innovative works by emerging filmmakers from around the world, providing the Los Angeles community of entertainment professionals and film goers with a constant surge of monthly screening events. NFMLA provides a forum where filmmakers can be recognized for their contributions, have open audience discussions about their projects and connect with industry professionals for insight on distribution, production, acquisition and representation.

With the goal of showcasing, supporting, educating and connecting emerging filmmakers, NFMLA rapidly expanded to become much more than a monthly film festival. NFMLA regularly partners with organizations, companies, and film schools such as the Producer’s Guild of America (PGA), International Documentary Association (IDA), Sundance Institute, Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Film Independent, Women in Film, Disney, Sony, DreamWorks, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (AMPAS | Golden Globes) NBC Universal, Legendary, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS | Oscars), HBO, Netflix, USC, TheWrap, UCLA, MovieMaker Magazine, Variety Magazine, FilmLA, NALIP, the City of Los Angeles, foreign consulates, and more to host an array of annual programs, workshops, panels, competitions, and learning and networking opportunities.
