BACKSTAGE
Raw Science Film Festival partners with Backstage
July 30, 2025 - New York, NY
The Raw Science Film Festival is over the MOON to partner with Backstage!
Backstage is a prominent global casting platform and entertainment industry publication that connects performers, content creators, and behind-the scenes professionals with casting directors and production teams across film, television, theater, commercials, and digital media.
Actress Sandra Bullock, Oscar-nominated for her starring role in "Gravity," credits Backstage for launching her career.
The multi-year festival partnership provides the following services to filmmakers and performing artists:
The filmmaker promo code is RAWSCIENCEFILMFEST. Filmmakers (including those on this newsletter!) can create a free casting account and use the promo code to post for free casting services across Backstage, Mandy, and Starnow.
Backstage is providing special gifts for the RSFF Gift Bag.
There are two new Industry Awards:
Backstage Best Actor (Professional)
Backstage Best Actor (Student)
These branded awards stand proudly alongside our first Industry Award in the name of beloved physicist Kip Thorne, inaugural winner of the annual Kip Thorne Gravity Award for Best Depiction of a Scientific Principle.
We are thrilled to bring science communication to greater audiences through the performing arts. Thank you to Backstage for joining this journey.
“The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. From it we have learned most of what we know. Recently, we have waded a little out to sea, enough to dampen our toes or, at most, wet our ankles. The water seems inviting. The ocean calls.” – Carl Sagan
And.. as one of our filmmaker team members says... "Where Discovery Meets the Big Screen - Get Raw, Get Real, Get Tickets!"
Stay tuned for ticket sales to be announced shortly. The red carpet awards ceremony is on Saturday, October 25, 2025 in New York. The deadline to submit films is October 1, 2025. Festival Jury Inquiries | info@rawsciencefilmfestival.com
