As official guests, Newland Films took part in a panel to showcase their film Remotely Famous, share the origins of Newland Films, and reveal exciting upcoming projects. They discussed the inspiration behind the film, the realities of working in independent filmmaking, and the dedication required to bring an ambitious vision to life on a shoestring budget.

During the panel, Newland Films also discussed the origins of their company, which began with a shared passion for cosplay and creative storytelling. They explained how those early beginnings shaped their unique approach to filmmaking and community engagement.

Excitingly, the team revealed they are currently filming a spin-off of Remotely Famous focused on the character Dale, promising fans even more laughs and wild adventures ahead.
