Olympic Blvd., California 90015 USA, Filmapolooza presents its Taking Your Film to Festivals and Beyond Panel Discussion with TL Westgate and another speaker rounding out the Panelist along with Mr. Walker.

In addition to Executive Producing and Starring in the Ryan Stevens Harris Directed SweetestVacation.com, he dances as a Principal Performer in two commercials currently enjoying heavy rotation: Courteney Cox's Directorial Debut Gallo Wine Clos Du Bois "Long Live" spot whose SAG National Commercial campaign was launched on Sunday's Academy Award® televised ceremony, while Rakuten's "The Cash Back Shimmy with Steph Curry" continues airing during most National Basketball Association televised games.

During the Panel, Phillip will share independent film awards events affordable submission approaches that have enable him to secure more than 800 Awards for the 25+ short films and videos that he has marketed since the Pandemic broke out. "After more than five years of enduring major amounts of film festival submission rejections, the Pandemic set me free by creating an indie festival submission platform that defaults not only at 'YES' but defaults at AWARD", says Walker, "there is an alternative!".

In a brief opening statement, Phil will use his wildly successful in less than 6 months, 'Sweetest Vacation' 48HFP Inland Empire 2022 Regional 3rd Placing, under 6 minute in length, Bhutan International Film Cultural Awards Best Fantasy Film of the Year, as a case study on what is possible with savvy short film marketing such as that done through his WalkerEntertainerAcademy.com Entertainment and Media Public Relations Agency marketing campaigns. Then, other times during the 55 minutes in length Panel, he will field questions from attendees.

Although he will not be naming names during the Panel discussion, Phillip Eugene will share his belief that the best thing that an indie filmmaker can do to help promote one's films is to launch one's own film festival. Attempting to follow in Robert Redford's Sundance footsteps, but aiming at short film development, he'll share as example his brand new launch of https://100FilmsRetreat.com, which sponsors the UNGRADIOSTATION weekly airing online talk show - "INJUSTICE".
