Festival-of-Films.com Increases Viewer Base, Providing Specialized Content Platform for Fans and Producers of Independent Films

NEW YORK, NY – March 7, 2011: Festival-of-Films.com, an innovative online portal featuring intelligent and emotionally charged films for passionate movie buffs, has substantially increased its overall consumer viewer base since the company's inception in October 2010. The web-based site features primarily independent films as well as select movies by first-time filmmakers. Each week, the site introduces a bundle of movies tied to a current event or emotional theme, such as this week's "Education: A Nation in Crisis."

As the quality and volume of independent films continues to increase -- largely due to greater availability of low cost / high quality production equipment -- there is a general lack of suitable online movie outlets especially designed for independent and documentary filmmakers, both foreign and domestic. Festival-of-Films.com caters its movie choices to accommodate innovative independent filmmakers, as well as audiences who crave high quality, independent content.

Festival-of-Films.com's viewership is largely comprised of independent movie buffs and technology early adopters who prefer the convienence of the web -- and who also appreciate the opportunity to view a large selection of quality, independent films at no charge. This is in turn has created new opportunities for producer/filmmaker talent, as well as advertisers and sponsors looking to access a targeted demographic of movie-lover consumers.

"Festival-of-Films.com has enormous appeal for independent filmmakers, movie consumers and advertisers," commented Tom Dolan, CEO of Festival-of-films.com. "Big name sites focus on major releases. We help consumers find content they are passionate about. Festival-of-Films.com was conceived as a unique place where both fans and independent filmmakers can connect with one another."

As Festival-of-Films.com pursues an advertising/sponsorship-based model -- which ensures audiences a variety of free and low cost/high quality film choices for consumers -- the company is also increasing its sales staff while exploring opportunities such as live broadcasting and simulcasting of regional film festivals.

Since its inception in October, 2010, Festival-of-Films has significantly increased its online viewership, offering hard to find, feature films like "China: The Rebirth of an Empire", "Split: A Divided America" and many others from up and coming movie producers. While most of its films are offered free of charge, Festival-of-Films provides a selection of low cost film rentals.
