Why sponsor the Roxbury International Film Festival?

When you partner with ROXFILM, there are a variety of sponsorship opportunity levels. ROXFILM’S partnership packages are priced reasonably and give you the exposure you are seeking. See special sponsorship below.

Benefits of sponsoring ROXFILM:

• The ability to increase your company’s brand recognition and awareness. Showcase your commitment to the community and the Arts.

• Outreach to thousands of people in ROXFILM’s demographic with your brand by tapping in to ROXFILM’s database and loyal customer base.

• Get access to diverse audiences in one place! ROXFILM’s patrons are made up of a multitude of different races, ages and economic backgrounds. Our core audience is:  

Demographics 

• Middle and upper middle class urban market

• Average age: 45 years, 60% female, 40% male

• 65% African American/Black, Caribbean

• 5% Hispanic

• 7% African

• 20% European American

• 2% Middle Eastern

• 1% Asian/Pacific Islander

ROXFILM embraces the niche market and understands that no two groups are truly the same. We have over the past few years broken down our sponsorships in different categories so that you have the option of sponsoring an event, a particular film or series of films, the opening night receptions, parties or the entire festival.

Niche marketing made simple! By sponsoring Opening and Closing night festivities you are reaching film audience members as well as filmmakers and VIP’s. By hosting the premiere night time event you are reaching a 25-38 year old demographic made up of young urban professionals.   

Sponsoring a film is also an option.  Sometimes you have a specific demographic, or a certain focus area.  RoxFilm screens films that may be right in line with your cause.  It’s easy to just choose a film to “co-present.”  If that is your interest, let us know. Email Lisa at lnsimms@gmail.com and let us know how you want to support.  The  co-sponsorship opportunity is available for $1500 dollars.

Three new opportunities to support ROXFILM. We have been so lucky to have amazing individuals who have been deeply committed to our festival and in their honor we have created awards in their names. You can donate to any of these awards as well by simply making that notation in your sponsorship form.

Amy Hood Visionary Award Film Fund.

Henry Hampton Excellence Award

Kay Bourne Emerging Filmmaker Award

ROXFILM 25TH Anniversary Film Fund* - This new fund has been created with a starting donation of $10,000 to support BIPOC filmmakers who are seeking funds to support the completion of their projects as a way to help them move their films forward and get them out in the world for us to see. Often times a project needs just that last bit of funding to get them over the finish line and we are seeking funds to help us build this Film Fund to at least $100,000 in its first year.
