Lomprayah Catamaran to be PFF’s official transportation sponsor

After a successful collaboration for this August’s inaugural Samui Film Fest we are stoked to announce that Lomprayah opted to sponsor also the Phangan sister event. Festival trailers will be on display in all catamarans coming to Phangan from both the main land and Samui for the month preceeding the event. A great opportunity for sponsors to get some extra exposure…

PFF to partner with HUMTOO

HUMTOO is a (free) online community connecting content creators and music makers across the globe. HUMTOO operates a project marketplace for projects in search of music, as well as a user generated production music library.

HUMTOO is also running HUMFEST – a new project development initiative for the best short film uploaded on HUMTOO in search of music, and also for the best music pitched for that short film.

HUMTOO will give AU$1000/US$650/£450/€556 to the best short film uploaded to the site as a project in search of music. HUMTOO will also give the same amount to the music maker who wins that project. This money will help you to continue making great short films and great music!
