A Hot Set provides a directory in its Resource Portal's “Annual Festivals” section, which links you to annual film festivals across the United States and Canada that showcase the work of up-and-coming filmmakers. The film festivals listed are a platform for filmmakers to feature their live-action films, documentaries, short films, animated shorts, and indie films, with the aim of getting their work seen, making networking connections, and landing distribution deals.

Among the festivals highlighted include the American Black Film Festival (founded by Jeff Friday), Asian World Film Festival (founded by Sadyk Sher-Niyaz), Cine Las Americas (founded by the Mexic-Arte Museum), American Indian Film Festival (founded by Michael Smith), Hollywood Era Film Festival (founded by Carlos de Abreu and Janice Pennington), and Reelworld Film Festival (founded by Tonya Williams). These festivals provide a unique opportunity for filmmakers of color to showcase their talent and network with industry professionals.
