The Online Box Office Film Festival teams up with 3rd Fathom Films

ATLANTA - EntSun -- The Online Box Office Film Festival hosts quarterly contests to give filmmakers another outlet to submit their work and win a number of awards and prizes, including cash. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, most film festivals were cancelled and a number of industry professionals found themselves out of work. During the downtime, The Online Box Office Film Festival was developed as a solution to get industry professionals moving again. The festival competition launched on September 27, 2020 and is still open for submissions currently. The introductory festival hit the ground running with hundreds of submissions just weeks after its announcement on FilmFreeway and social media. The first edition is themed around horror short films, but the festival theme and film genre acceptance will be different for each quarterly event.
