Two festival passes (or equivalent), good for all four screenings — eight admissions total.
The festival is organized entirely by volunteers who pour their time into programming, screening logistics, guest coordination, and community outreach for the CMG Short Film Festival. Because it is a volunteer-run event, sponsorship plays a central role in keeping ticket prices low, covering venue and production costs, and making the festival accessible to filmmakers and audiences across the LGBTQ community. Support from local businesses, artists, and community partners also helps fund awards, travel stipends, and the many gatherings that surround the screenings during the October festival weekend in West Hollywood.
Sponsorship packages place a supporter's logo and name before festival audiences through the printed program, printed postcard, slide show, and the festival web page, with tiered levels offered for those who want their visibility to scale. Each package is built around a combination of promotional placement, acknowledgement, and on-site presence, allowing partners to align their support with the festival's mission of acceptance, community, and celebration of bold storytelling. Organizers welcome conversations with prospective sponsors about tailoring a package that fits a supporter's goals and budget.
