Presented by VPA Richmond, the Showcase began in 2017-2018 as series of screenings, but is now moving to a single-event format, which will conclude with an awards ceremony for categories such as Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best Director.

Last year, the science-fiction short Only Savagesby Virginia filmmaker Ben Page featuring characters portrayed by puppets, took the top prize. Uma: Make It Last, by Old Dominion graduates Jeremy Bates, Sevannah Harvey, and Nadja Bangoura, took top documentary honors, and Richmond filmmaker Michael Ivey took home best screenplay and best director for his suspense short She’s Home.

The Showcase was developed by VPA Richmond as a chance for filmmakers to experience a film festival atmosphere, see their films on a big screen, and answer questions from the audience. It is also an excellent opportunity to network with other filmmakers and support independent film.
