The American Black Film Festival 2012 Returns To Miami Beach
This year’s 16th Annual American Black Film Festival not only recognized the emerging film artists of our time but also has stepped out of the normalcy of custom media to launch the first annual Webisode Challenge. This unique and timely competition is a national outlet that will identify talented writers, directors and producers who demonstrate an outstanding promise in creating episodic television for Internet broadcast.
The credibility of the webisode concept has an immense potential of success as more and more people seek the Internet for their primary entertainment source. Anyone with an idea, some out-of-the-box creativity, a niche for audience attention and some web savvy talent now has a grand platform to share their work. Industry executives are getting it and the founder of ABFF, Jeff Friday believes in its growth. This is what inevitably led to his decision to explore this avenue and include the digital medium in this year’s festival.
