Mission & Objective
The Soul 4 Reel International Film Festival spotlights truly independent short films (under 30 minutes) in every genre including music videos, created by new and established filmmakers dealing with “the soul of relationships”. The goal is to enlighten, inspire and build the imaginations and lives of those who enjoy making films as well as those who simply observe by expressing what it means to have and be in a relationship. The competition is open to students, indie filmmakers, and music video directors from all over the world.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Rocky McKoy and The Soul Factory Theatre have presented the Soul 4 Reel International Film Festival for the past 2 years. This three day competition features independent short films of all genres as well as music videos, dealing with “the soul ofrelationships.” "Relationships can be defined as love between a husband and wife, love for a pet, love between friends, a favorite material possession, etc."
The Festival has featured over 30 films each year from over 7 different countries.
In addition to independent films, the competition hosts Q&A segments from directors in the industry as well as directors of films in competition. Most importantly, filmmakers enjoy the opportunity to meet and learn from
other filmmakers, an experience that comes from the premier showcase dedicated to short films and the people who make them
