Two years ago ABFF introduced the Pro Hollywood Initiative giving professional athletes a crash course in getting into the film business.
Last year the Television Network Faith and Family Screenplay Competition was offered for writers to get the chance to be discovered.
This year a mobile selection will be introduced for those who use their smartphones to produce short films.
On site registration will open on the first day at 9am at the Ritz Carleton – South Beach Hotel on the second floor however beware because tickets are limited at that time.
