"The NewsFest International Film Festival is dedicated to showcasing, TRUE STORIES, NEWS STORIES, DOCUMENTARIES, ORIGINAL MUSIC VIDEOS, NARRATIVE Films and Screenplays based on "True Stories".

The NewsFest is an exciting opportunity for News Professionals, Documentarians and Writers and Filmmakers to present their work to an international audience! We invite all DOCUMENTARIANS, Filmmakers and Writers (of True Stories) and News Professionals - in front of the camera; behind the camera to submit their work. Students are invited to submit. Music videos and practice sessions of original music are also welcome.

Winners in each category will receive an award and have their winning entry televised in the local LA viewing area. Winners will need to submit their films in a specific format for broadcast as designated by NewFest staff, including closed captioning."

ATTENTION:

Based on recent global events, COVID19, federal and state mandates, and circumstances beyond our control, many of our vendors and partners COULD NOT provide their business or service to us.

In response to these developments, and with very heavy hearts, the AOF MEGAFEST has postponed the 2020 event until 2021. Other local festivals such as Anthem and Electric Daisy carnival have canceled their events entirely. We fought postponing up to the very last moment and we are deeply saddened by the turn of events. All accepted 2020 works will be screened live during the combined 2020/2021 event that will run 7.26.2021 to 8.1.2021. 2020 Award winners will be honored at the live award show that is dedicated to them. Seminars, after-parties, events, screenings, and the film market will all be live.

Thank you for your understanding.

Stay safe, stay healthy, keep creating and
