As a seasoned gamer with a diverse palette of experiences under my belt, I can’t help but feel invigorated by the news of the Bentonville Film Festival and the BFF Creator Convergence. With a decade-long commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices, this event is a beacon for creators like myself who yearn for an inclusive space to share our unique perspectives.
The Bentonville Film Festival has revealed the schedule for its 2025 edition and unveiled its first-ever BFF Creator Convergence Summit: A platform to boost voices and ventures.
The 2025 edition of a festival produced by BFFoundation, an organization dedicated to amplifying underrepresented storytellers, will take place from June 16th to 22nd in Bentonville, Arkansas. Submissions are currently being accepted for feature films, shorts, and episodic content. For further details including deadlines, please check the BFF website. This festival is being jointly presented by founding partner Walmart and presenting partner Coca-Cola.
For over ten years, BFF has been advocating for creatives who are often overlooked. Now, more than ever, our mission is strong: providing opportunities for storytellers with various cultural experiences to express their distinctive viewpoints and voices,” stated Geena Davis, chair of BFF. “We’re thrilled about further nurturing talent, creating an inspiring community, and granting these artists a stage to resonate with broader audiences. As the industry evolves, our determination remains unwavering in making it more welcoming for creators from all walks of life.
Moreover, it was announced that they would host their inaugural BFF Creator Gathering: Amplifying Voices and Businesses – a multi-day conference will unite Walmart executives and merchants with suppliers, intellectual property holders, and agencies to delve into the latest trends in influencers, music, gaming, short-form content, brand partnerships, and social change. This event will take place in collaboration with United Talent Agency and XTracks Licensing Forums.
The president of BFFoundation, Wendy Guerrero, stated that Bentonville has consistently aimed at nurturing an environment that encourages growth for new voices. By introducing the BFF Creator Convergence, we’re broadening our influence to aid creators throughout their creative process.
