Welcome to “Stories Aching To Be Told,” hosted at the Regent Theatre, a 456-seat visually and acoustically stunning gem located in Arlington, Massachusetts (near Boston). We are more than just an event; we are a supportive community that stands by you and champions your creative journey throughout the year. We invite all creators to connect with us beyond the festival dates. Our mission is to nurture your growth and success both in the moment and for a lifetime. Our winners have the opportunity to showcase their work to cinema buyers at the Cannes Film Festival and Cannes Film Market, and our winners in the sports divisions get Cannes, plus an invite to broadcast on the Ryz Sports Network, with a revenue share from the broadcast. Lonely Seal is committed to providing exceptional exposure for selected projects. We’ve added a few sports-related categories, all of which include an invitation to broadcast on the Ryz Sports Network, with revenue sharing from the broadcast. We’ve also added a few comedy categories, because we believe there needs to be more laughter in the world. We embrace diversity, women’s voices, and films about disabilities, and we welcome stories from all genres. We LOVE premieres, so if you’re interested in premiering at Lonely Seal, we’re especially interested in showcasing your work. Lonely Seal is a festival you won’t forget attending, because you won’t be joining a crowd; you’ll be joining a family. So click that “submit” button below and send us your work, because we can’t help you thrive until you send us your awesomeness!
