LOS ÁNGELES, 21 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- El 8 de diciembre, Omni Cultural TV Fest (OCTVF) y S.T.R.E.A.M. Global Innovations se unieron para ofrecer un revolucionario festival virtual con la presencia de avatares.

La segunda edición anual de OCTVF se organizó junto con NATPE (The National Association of Television Program Executives) y S.T.R.E.A.M. Global Innovations, una organización educativa sin fines de lucro que apoya a las comunidades desatendidas. La exposición de todo un día incluyó paneles sucesivos, proyecciones, un espectáculo de premiación y un festejo posterior en un mundo virtual interactivo con avatares personalizados.

"¡El OCTVF de este año fue épico! Ni siquiera una pandemia nos iba a impedir presentar al nuevo talento que hemos descubierto", dijo Cindy Cowan, cofundadora del festival. "S.T.R.E.A.M. nos proporcionó una experiencia superior de red virtual y nuestros avatares nos permitieron encontrarnos, participar en paneles y en el espectáculo de premiación, ¡y bailar toda la noche!"

En el festejo posterior, los invitados socializaron con Kool de Kool and The Gang y Hanna El Bayeh, y bailaron con las presentaciones de Sandra G. y James Maslow. Vicki Barbolak ("America's Got Talent") presentó el espectáculo de premiación.

El evento se diseñó para conectar a un grupo diverso de cineastas y creativos con compradores, distribuidores, estudios y redes en un entorno con distanciamiento social. Participantes de todo el mundo dejaron muy buenos comentarios sobre el evento. 

"¡Fue impresionante! En realidad, los vi las 14 horas seguidas con mi pijama", expresó Adeline Ferro, productora ejecutiva de "Mambochella" (selección oficial/documentales). "Los paneles fueron magníficos, las proyecciones y el espectáculo de premiación estuvieron increíbles, y la fiesta me hizo sentir que había salido por primera vez desde que comenzó la pandemia". 

Geoff Silverman, socio de The Cartel Agency y uno de los muchos ejecutivos que lograron conexiones exitosas, comentó: "Descubrí que todo el talento creativo surgía de nuevas voces renovadas, diversas e innovadoras. De hecho, en estos momentos estoy en tratativas para representar a algunos de estos fantásticos creadores".

El festival tuvo más de 1,200 registros, con 196 invitados que interactuaron y navegaron con su avatar durante las 14 horas completas. 

"Se trata de cifras impresionantes, y nos sentimos muy honrados de haber sido la plataforma oficial para este evento tan necesario que vincula a pujantes creadores con sus posibilidades. ¡Este evento hizo historia para ambos!", expresó Nikia Richards, cofundadora de S.T.R.E.A.M. Global Innovations.

Los ganadores de la segunda edición anual de los premios OCTVF son:

Mejor película en idioma extranjero: "Día de las carpas" de Joāo Dall'Stella
Mejor animación: "Fantomville" de Glaudius Studios, Puerto Rico
Mejor documental: "What War" de Parvez Satter
