History
Founded in 2021, FilmFestMag emerged from a belief that every film deserves to be seen and appreciated. The website was born out of the fervor for cinematic storytelling and the excitement surrounding film festivals, a space where creativity and imagination thrive.
The founder, Leslie Morgan, is a seasoned film critic, festival juror, and filmmaker with a rich history in the film industry. With over a decade of experience attending various film festivals, Leslie recognized a gap in the digital landscape: a dedicated platform that not only informs but also engages with the artistic community and its supporters. With this vision in mind, Leslie began working tirelessly to create FilmFestMag, where filmmakers can gain recognition and viewers can find their next favorite film.
