After 10 years of supporting, sharing and stimulating the South Devon film scene, the English Riviera Film Festival has a new sponsor, which has helped curate its rich filmmaking resources.
Simon Beer, managing director at Bigwave Marketing and a film fan, has sponsored a brand-new website for the festival, with two years support.
The newly launched website is a treasure trove for film producers and enthusiasts and a chance to catch up with past winners, who have hailed from all corners of the UK and the world.
In their ongoing commitment to fostering new talent, the ERFF is developing a student film showcase page. There is also a dedicated page for film industry interviews, home to insightful conversations with industry professionals from around the globe, along with a wealth of useful links.
The English Riviera Film Festival director John Tomkins said: “Simon attended several festival events and then generously offered the support of Bigwave Marketing. We are delighted with the new site and believe it provides a fantastic platform to showcase the future of the English Riviera Film Festival.”
Simon Beer of Bigwave Marketing | B Corp™ said: “We are really proud to support the English Riviera Film Festival and everything it brings to the Bay. It is a great showcase of what people in Torbay can achieve, and it’s brilliant to see it inspiring young people to get into film and the wider creative industries.”
The English Riviera Film Festival returns in December with an afternoon and evening of events in collaboration with Info Film, South Devon College, Devon and Cornwall Film, and Devon Film Office.
Check out the English Riviera Film Festival new site and explore the legacy and vibrant future of film in the Bay.
