“When we first started the Below the Line Film Festival, our goal was simple: offer a platform for anyone to share their work and connect with an audience,” said the Executive Team at Chill Bucket Productions. “Five seasons in, we are proud to champion the artists who make filmmaking possible every single day. Whether sitting in our audience in New York City or tuning in from across the globe, we invite everyone to celebrate independent cinema with us.”<\/p>\n
