Who We Are
We are a team of filmmakers who met at the All American High School Film Festival in 2019. Since then we have collaborated on several projects including our award winning short film Zoom Dating. We are huge believers in how collaboration holds a vital role in the art of film.
We started Open Gate International Film Festival to connect filmmakers from around the world with the intention of celebrating the shared passion for film.
