Film Goals:

The goal of “An Outfit” is to have it join a strong streaming platform where it will be more easily accessible to a bigger audience. Great relationships with festival directors have already been established with previous work from the director. Some of these film festival directors have relationships with HBO Max “Pa’lante” which will be one of our target platforms. After the short film runs its festival course, the possibility of turning the project into a feature film will also be considered.
