Furthermore, the app will continue to accept ongoing submissions to FilmOneFest throughout the year, culminating in the selection of one-minute films to be shown at each year’s festival.
The FilmOneFest Festival:
FilmOneFest is an annual outdoor film festival that shows approximately 60 one-minute films from all over the world. FilmOneFest is in its third year. Last year, almost 1000 people gathered on the lawns, laid down their blankets, stretched out their lawn chairs, opened up their coolers and joined in celebration on a balmy July summer’s evening to watch one-minute films under the stars next to the marina at Atlantic Highlands, NJ, USA.

The Experience:
