FilmFaster48 Returns to Los Angeles with a Bold, Culture-Driven Festival Experience Blending Film, Fashion, Industry Access & High-Energy Celebration
Press Release
OTC Disclosure & News Service | 01/30/2026
LOS ANGELES, CA — February 2026
FilmFaster48 is officially back — and in 2026, the festival evolves into something bigger, bolder, and more culturally electric than ever before.
Produced by Providence Film Group, a subsidiary of Valiant Eagle Inc. (OTC: PSRU), and led by filmmaker and executive Dr. Xavier Mitchell, FilmFaster48 returns as a multi-event creative festival designed to spotlight emerging filmmakers, connect them with real industry access, and celebrate the intersection of film, fashion, culture, and community.
Running February 1 and February 22–24, 2026, FilmFaster48 has expanded beyond its origins as a fast-paced filmmaking challenge into a curated festival experience featuring industry panels, filmmaker labs, theatrical screenings, fashion programming, and high-energy cultural events across Los Angeles.
Backed by Providence Film Group’s active development and production slate — including feature films produced in collaboration with New Republic Pictures — FilmFaster48 is uniquely positioned to offer creators tangible career pathways. Select filmmakers and writers will be eligible for distribution consideration, an official film credit on a New Republic Pictures production, and a hands-on role on the fully financed feature film The Knock 2.
Designed as more than a traditional festival, FilmFaster48 bridges the gap between festival recognition and real-world industry experience, prioritizing emerging voices, cultural crossover, and meaningful access to professional opportunities.
This year’s festival unfolds across multiple venues in Los Angeles, featuring curated short-film screenings, industry panels, hands-on workshops, a filmmaker & industry mixer, fashion show crossover, award ceremony, after-party, and a premium closing brunch experience.
SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN
FilmFaster48 is actively accepting short-film submissions across all categories. Filmmakers from Los Angeles and beyond are encouraged to submit and become part of a festival built around visibility, access, and momentum.

We’re also proud to announce Auré Nuvé, the luxury handbag line by artist and DJ Belle Aire, as an official fashion partner of the FilmFaster48 Fashion Show. Auré Nuvé is where high design meets artistic expression—featuring sculptural silhouettes, elevated materials, and statement pieces created for women who move culture rather than follow it.
In addition, FilmFaster48 is excited to officially welcome Rozarr Designs as a featured fashion partner for the runway. Known for bold silhouettes, elevated craftsmanship, and statement-making designs, Rozarr Designs brings a powerful creative vision that aligns perfectly with the culture, artistry, and crossover energy of the festival’s opening weekend. @rozarrdesigns
