Caren Zucker and John Donvan from IN A DIFFERENT KEY, TAHKSIC’s director Anquanizia Hall, DRESS TO IMPRESS director Collin Surbeck, 10 YEARS OVER THE HORIZON directing team Matteo and Elisabetta Zengaro and more on the Oxford Film Festival 2021 red carpet
The Oxford Film Festival took the next step in returning to film festival normalcy (at least as we know it) by doing the in-person screenings and events that filmmakers and film fans were missing so badly over the past year or so.
The red carpet presentations are a HUGE part of that experience we enjoy at the film festivals Wildworks PR does its thing at, so guess what..?

Socially distanced and careful with the mask protocol (basically, we trusted our filmmakers and their teams that they were okay within their filmmaker “bubbles”, but beyond that it was masks on while moving about – and as you’ll see, there were some groups that really “pushed” that protocol…).
So we limited he press participation, spaced out the photos and interviews, took a little more time with the entire process and voila! Red Carpets are back!
