ACCOLADE GLOBAL FILM COMPETITION - OFFLINE - WINNER AWARD OF MERIT

 

Kate Kelsen's short film Offline won an award of merit at the Accolade Global Film Competition.

Offline was a part of the Summer program for the Accolade Global Film Competition.  The Festival is based in La Jolla, CA.  However, this festival is completely virtual. 

Kate picked up an award of merit for woman filmmakers.  

The festival's website states:

Accolade is the original, top-tier, internationally respected global virtual online competition – recognizing film, TV and media professionals who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and story telling since 2003!  There have been many imitators – but only ONE Accolade and the prestige is known throughout the industry.

Accolade is unique and the industry leader of virtual film competitions. Attracting both powerhouse companies as well as talented new filmmakers, it is an unparalleled, truly international awards competition, not a traditional film festival – which allows filmmakers from around the world to enter their films in this prestigious competition.

Established in 2003, Accolade gives talented directors, producers, actors, creative teams the positive exposure they deserve. It discovers and honors the achievements of filmmakers who produce high quality projects. The Accolade promotes award winners through press releases to over 100,000 filmmakers and industry contacts through FilmFestivals.com.

The Accolade is a also great predictor of future success. Our talented award winners have gone on to win Oscars, Emmys, Tellys and other awards.

Above all, we truly value and honor our filmmaking family.
