This special 1-day event will kick-off premiere 10 original short films, feature live outdoor music, and will also feature an Awareness Resource area for partnering organizations. Film goers will not only enjoy Free admission for the festival, but they’ll have the opportunity to find out more about local and global initiatives to fight and end modern day slavery.

The Talent 1 Media Film Festival does not present awards to filmmakers but instead it’s a celebration and a unique event geared towards raising awareness for social justice causes. This year we’ve partnered up with organizations such as Oasis USA, Just One, NightLight Bangkok, Free The Slaves, The SOLD Project, LA Unity Coalition and others to raise awareness on the injustices of Human Trafficking.
