UGPFF is the first international film festival to engage audiences with simultaneous online and offline screenings around the globe. As a companion to the interactive online experience, UGPFF will host and live stream a series of offline screenings with theater audiences in 7 cities throughout 5 different countries including New Zealand, Singapore, London, NYC, Seattle, Tijuana, and Los Angeles, CA.

Participating filmmakers from global locations will be able to answer questions following each screening in a Q&A session, without needing to leave the comforts of their homes,” said UGPFF founder Adam J. Cohen. “We are empowering a community of passionate creators to expand their audience online and embrace their growing digital distribution opportunities.
78 filmmakers from 23 different countries are represented, with prominent projects including the web series, Darwin the Series, starring Karl Kenzler, and Christopher Gerson, directed by Carrie Preston, Slap starring Clany Brown and Mel Rodriguez, as well as the web series, On Begley Street, starring Ed Begley Jr.
