A friend of mine Paul Gruber is the mastermind behind The Backroom Film Festival. Why am I sharing this at Living in Courage?  I find Paul courageous for creating an opportunity for people to not only view inspiring short films, but to get involved by making their own short film and becoming a part of The Backroom tv community.

Who Are We?

The Backroom is a group of individuals who are committed to improve our communities through a series of short film festivals designed to present films in the categories of inspiration/motivation, comedy and animation. Our vision is to create a global “Backroom” in which we are “Affecting people in a positive way.”

“We believe that in the future there will be a greater desire for short films, and we’ll need the talent to make them.” Paul Gruber

What We Do

The Back room searches for opportunities to promote people in our communities who are excited about life and willing to share their knowledge and skills with others.  The Backroom understands the importance of how “giving starts the process of receiving.”

In addition to the festivals, we are also developing and promoting various programs – bringing together people who have something to share with those who have something to learn.  Online networks, informal get-togethers and formal events are being created to encourage people from various backgrounds to join the www.thebackroom.tv community.

What greater way to promote new talent than through a gathering of short film makers and short film enthusiasts?  The Backroom Short Film Festival is an event that is designed to showcase people who have an inspiring story, unique talent, or special skill from which we can all benefit.

How Can I Become Involved?

Are you an aspiring filmmaker?  Do you have a special skill or talent?  Do you have a unique story to share and do you enjoy short films?  Be part of a community in which we live, learn and grow and  be inspired through the process where, “giving starts the receiving.” Be a part of an experience that is positive and unforgettable.
