About NewFilmmakers Los Angeles

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) champions emerging and diverse filmmakers and storytellers worldwide. It provides a forum where filmmakers can be recognized for their contributions, have open audience discussions about their work, and connect with industry professionals for insight on distribution, production, and representation. To showcase, support, educate, and build relationships for next-gen filmmakers, NFMLA has rapidly expanded beyond the NFMLA Monthly Film Festival to host an array of workshops, panels, competitions, and networking programs, including the InFocus initiative which combats the lack of diversity in media by celebrating underrepresented voices.
