The first and only festival where winners earn equity and real positions on a fully financed feature film — a direct pipeline into Hollywood production.
Film Festival 48 (FF48), in partnership with Providence Film Group, a Valiant Eagle (OTC:PSRU) subsidiary, will host a special Holiday Mixer on December 13 to unite filmmakers, creators, and industry professionals for an evening of networking, celebration, and major announcements for the February 2025 festival.
The Mixer marks the official kickoff of next year’s competition and introduces groundbreaking opportunities that make FF48 unlike any other film festival in the country.
FF48: The Only Festival Where Winners Work on a Real Studio Feature Film
Film Festival 48 is a high-stakes, 48-hour filmmaking competition that transforms emerging filmmakers into industry professionals. It stands as the first and only festival where the winning teams are placed directly onto a real, fully financed feature film produced by Providence Film Group.
Winners will join the production of The Knock 2, the sequel to Providence Film Group’s new horror franchise The Knock.
Winning filmmakers will receive:
- Equity in the feature film
- Writing opportunities on the film
- Producer credits and hands-on production roles
- Acting opportunities for qualifying talent
- Real Hollywood credits
- Direct access to studio executives and ongoing career support
This is not symbolic access — it is true entry into the filmmaking industry, backed by a real production slate.
Spotlight on The Knock 2
The February festival’s grand prize is tied directly to The Knock 2, the next installment of Providence Film Group’s expanding horror franchise The Knock. The original film has already generated early buzz, and the sequel offers a rare professional opportunity for rising filmmakers to join a studio-backed feature from concept to release.
During the Mixer, attendees will get an exclusive look at the franchise, including highlights and a promo preview of the first film, The Knock.
Purpose of the Holiday Mixer
The Holiday Mixer serves as:
- The official launch event for the 2025 Film Festival 48
- A networking space for filmmakers, actors, producers, and industry leaders
- An information session about how the festival works and how teams can participate
- The public unveiling of new FF48 initiatives, collaborations, and filmmaker resources
- A celebration of creativity, community, and the growing filmmaker ecosystem
Attendees will have face-to-face access to leaders from Providence Film Group, giving filmmakers an unparalleled chance to build relationships before the competition begins.
