In response to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Seed&Spark built the online screening TIP US
platform for the entertainment, arts to connect the cultural community. With its existing streaming
technology and its reputation in the indie space, the platform supports time-based events with ticketed
screenings, shorts and series programs as well as live Q&As. As Deadline previously reported,
Seed&Spark assembled a roster of celebrities who have signed on to host Q&As.

“We’re thrilled to be launching our online screening platform to power events for organizations that
also care deeply about the survival and wellbeing of the creative ecosystem,” said Emily Best, founder
and CEO of Seed&Spark. “Participating in online festivals is critical for our collective cultural health —
the filmmakers, arts organizations, cultural curators and audiences in communities large and small.
The three festivals kicking off this launch with us are a perfect example of the true diversity of
programming perspectives we need for creators’ work to really move the culture forward.”
The Seed&Spark-led Film Festival Survival Pledge has been taken by more than 248 arts
organizations, including 199 film festivals since launching in March.
The NewFilmmakers LA Monthly Film Festival will have its first all-digital fest June 5-7 featuring the
line-ups of InFocus: Female Cinema, InFocus: Asian Cinema and other official selections from the
March and April 2020 monthly festivals postponed due to the pandemic. The event includes Q&As
introduced by Academy-Award nominated writer Emily V Gordon (The Big Sick) and CNN contributor
and author Jeff Yang.
