Overview

Raw Science creates and distributes science media including shorts, features, and animation. Raw Science Film Festival (RSFF) is an annual event that takes place in Los Angeles, California and brings together people across science, technology, entertainment and media to showcase best in class film and media from around the globe. The event was initially made possible through the support of the National Academy of Sciences and The Science and Entertainment Exchange. The mission of RSFF is to humanize science and bring fact-based experts to the forefront of popular culture by celebrating the best science storytelling in the world. The top festival winners are awarded theatrical Oscar qualifying runs. The goal is to create a world class film festival for science media on par with Cannes or Sundance, and to extend the festival globally. The RSFF won “Best of the Fest” in 2019 by FestForums, a consortium of key industry leaders, event producers, and artists with a Board including the Co-Founder of Woodstock (1969), President of Live Nation, Director of Glastonbury Festival, President and Founder of Sundance Productions, and Editor at Large of Billboard.
